I've tested this yesterday and re-tested this now by creating a file
'index2.php' with this content:
<?php
require_once 'program/include/iniset.php';
  echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];
  echo '<br>';
  echo INSTALL_PATH;
?>

The result is:
/var/lib/roundcube/index2.php
/var/lib/roundcube/

I'm using roundcube with the upstream 'iniset.php' with no problems.

I've cloned '/var/lib/roundcube' (with rsync) on a different directory
in /var/www for a new virtual host designed only for mobile devices
(smart phones). Afterwards I just changed a few symbolic links
(config/main.inc.php, logs) and added a new skin. But for this to work
I had to change the iniset.php to detect automatically INSTALL_PATH.

I hope this explains the setup. I don't want to duplicate roundcube
code if not really necessary.

Thanks
