I think actually it's been reasonably scratched -- the debian package
for example does it.
The "problem" is that qpsmtpd in many ways is a developer tool and the
default setup is optimized for that -- and many installs are just
following that. I'd like us to move towards doing a "proper" standard-
ish install as the default.
(For that matter it'd be nice to move the standard plugins towards
being module based, too, and eventually make the plugins themselves
easier to subclass/plug/otherwise modify at arms length.).
So: Patches to improve Makefile.PL and a standard install are welcome.
