Excuse me, but he refers not to autotools-based ports, but to ports that follows GNU Coding Standards (section "Makefile Conventions" if more preciously). Autotools just brings such support out-of-the-box. And, IMO, projects that violates these things heavy, should be fixed upstream. BTW, from my expiriense, there are little amount of project that doesn't support DESTDIR of it's analog. And many of them may be worked around anyway. -- Andrew W. Nosenko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
