Thanks to all of you, I have solved this problem.

As I mentioned before, I am not mean to change the profile location,
eg ~/.thunderbird/*.defulat to elsewhere, I want to change
~/.thunderbird itsself to ~/.mozilla/thunderbird which profile manager
can not help.

Finally, thanks to lee@mozillazine, I found how to change that by
altering the source code.

its just too easy, you can configure it in profile settings. in server 
settings you can choose the local folder. thats what you need?

Yes, thunderbird -P, you can even make a desktop file for it,
something like (it's my Aurora):
[Desktop Entry]

GenericName=Web Browser
Exec=/home/ganlu/Downloads/firefox/firefox %u

Use

thunderbird --profilemanager

Make a new profile to your desired location and move your old profile to 
the new one ;)

Is there any compile flag or something I could alter? I think that
would be easy to do. I just want to clean my home folder, backup
firefox and thunderbird data. I only want to backup a .mozilla
directory and not .mozilla and .thunderbird them two.

So,anyone knows?

Besides, I don't want to symlink .mozilla/thunderbird to .thunderbird,
that won't solve the problem, I am willing to recomplie the whole
