dovecot - Jan 2008 - [configure] docdir option lost

Hi,
While building dovecot-1.0.10 i've a trouble with --docdir configure option.
It seems this option overload is "lost" during makefiles recurse
generation (i didn't check others overload).

Following are config.log and Makefiles cuts :
-------------------
$ grep docdir dovecot-1.0.10/config.log dovecot-1.0.10/Makefile
dovecot-1.0.10/doc/Makefile dovecot-1.0.10/doc/wiki/Makefile
dovecot-1.0.10/config.log:  $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gssapi
--with-ldap --with-sql --with-mysql --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/man --with-docs
--docdir=/usr/doc/dovecot-1.0.10
dovecot-1.0.10/config.log:docdir='/usr/doc/dovecot-1.0.10'
dovecot-1.0.10/Makefile:docdir = /usr/doc/dovecot-1.0.10
dovecot-1.0.10/doc/Makefile:docdir = $(datadir)/doc/dovecot
dovecot-1.0.10/doc/wiki/Makefile:docdir = $(datadir)/doc/dovecot
-------------------

I'll correct it in a dirty way (sed is my friend after Makefiles
creation) because i want it built quickly, but i guess it shouldn't be
hard to avoid this problem in futures releases.

That's because --docdir is a somewhat new automake addition. I once
added support for it and later removed it because it didn't work
everywhere. I guess there could be some way to make it work with both
new and old automakes.. I'll add in my TODO if I can figure out
something.
