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

You're right.
At minimum the path should be reasonably easily configurable
./configure --localstatedir=/var/run
Is it reasonable?
BTW: According to some standards /var/run can be cleaned at system startup. What is the best directory for stunnel chrooted environment?
