I must say that this is a very interesting idea but it would either require an 
ugly hack (some changes in rpm + some hackish stuff inside squirrelmail.spec) 
or a higher level of abstraction inside rpm (eg. if I can install 
squirrelmail with a prefix than maybe I could install one in this dir, and a 
second one in that... but I would have real problems when trying to 
uninstall/upgrade/whatever any of them).
