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@mozillazine, I found how to change that by
altering the source code.
