[tpop3d-discuss] pidfile

Hi,
I'm in the process of attempting to create a FreeBSD port for tpop3d. Even
if they don't accept it, its a learning experience, and I've got nothing
else to do :)
During the process, I've noticed that tpop3d by default doesn't use a
pidfile. Wouldn't it be sensible to make this a configure time option? I
had to change main.c so it wrote one (which works fine).
Would it be possible to get a configure option to write a pidfile,
specifying the location on the configure arg? FreeBSD stores them in
/var/run, so I'd be setting it to that for this port.
your thoughts?
