Thus sayeth hier(7):

     /var/    multi-purpose log, temporary, transient, and spool files

Qmail (that is, its binaries, docs, etc.) isn't even close to that
description, and /var is not under /usr/local, so I am quite opposed
to it going there.  I like ${PREFIX}/qmail just fine... anyone have
any opposition to it?
