[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'). Thanks, Mirek
