That works for FreeBSD, but look at Mail-SpamAssassin's Makefile.PL.
It contains a subroutine "_set_macro_LOCALSTATEDIR" that supposedly
sets the default for LOCAL_STATE_DIR.  If anyone doesn't think
SpamAssassin is an evil piece of code, _set_macro_LOCALSTATEDIR should
remove all remaining doubts.

If/when I find a general-purpose way to detect what the *@#&$&#$
LOCAL_STATE_DIR should be set to for a given SpamAssassin installation,
I will patch MIMEDefang to use it.  If I can't figure it out, I'll
just use /var/lib.

Regards,

David.
