Torsten,

I'll take a look to see what's happening.

On the command line, "-d /home/bogofilter" is the traditional way of
specifying the directory.  It still works.

Correct.  They're just a note to the reader.  Bogofilter.cf.example
isn't processed during configure, so they're not removed.  The #ifdefs
also serve as indicators/reminders for 0.17 when those parts of the file
will be removed.
