OK.
Temporary I'll back MAIL_DIR to part indepemdent USE_PAM.
But final will be diffrent ..
Because:
1) diffrent users can have mail spool in diffent base location
(for example LDAP schema allow per user diffrent mail spool base
directory)
2) I plan remove use /etc/login.defs and move all neccessary variables to
/etc/default/<program_name>
3) all programs which will have /etc/default/<program_name> config file
will have -K KEY=VALUE option which will allow in command line override
any value from /etc/default/<program_name> and -D option for
display/save default configuration values (as same as current useradd).
userdel/usermod programs will have own /etc/default/<program_name>::MAIL_DIR
variable.
