Well, it may make sense, I find autoconf very limited when it comes to
stuff like pid file directories. I simply find it odd, that I cannot
define application specific directories, and I don't find
--with-pidfile-dir option very pausible either. It should be possible to
define additional directories, but it is not.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, I've pushed a patch makes this
change.
