Whether administration is through a Web interface, or interactive,
Postfix is still a very much a system compontent, and not designed
a relocatable application.
Modern Postfix builds look for dynamicmaps.cf in a fixed location,
the default main.cf is still used when authorizing local submission
via non-default instances (configuration directories).

The Postfix installation location need to be known at compile time.
I don't expect this to change any time soon.
