[PATCH] Allow overriding PIDFILE, was Re: [stunnel-users] stunnel 4.14 released

• Default pidfile changed from $localstatedir/run/stunnel.pid to $localstatedir/stunnel/stunnel.pid.

For a system-wide installation this conflicts with the Linux FHS, which specifies "Applications must generally not add directories to the top level of /var".

At minimum the path should be reasonably easily configurable, which is what the attached patch does: it allows ./configure CPPFLAGS=-DPIDFILE='"/my/desired/path"' Currently it is necessary to use make CPPFLAGS=-DLIBDIR=...\ -DCONFDIR=...\ -DPIDFILE=... always specyfing all three variables. See also (info '(automake)Flag Variables Ordering').
