Thanks to all of you, I have solved this problem.
As I mentioned before, I am not mean to change the profile location,
eg ~/.thunderbird/*.defulat to elsewhere, I want to change
~/.thunderbird itsself to ~/.mozilla/thunderbird which profile manager
can not help.
Finally, thanks to lee at mozillazine, I found how to change that by
altering the source code.
