I remember, and if courier and courier-imap and sqwebmail all incorporate 
the WITH_RCORDER tunable then all of these ports could also benefit from 
Makefile.opt.diff.

So whether it's "acceptable" or not is a matter of how convenient you want 
these ports to be for the end user.

The courier port will honor theWITH_RCORDER  tunable and I hope that Oliver 
uses something similar in the ports he maintains.
