This may be preferred if we want to change the filesystem layout of the
ksh93 distribution and move stuff like "libast" (same was done with
openssl&co.) to on/usr/src/lib/ (see
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/lib/). AFAIK in that
case we have to create own own Makfiles.

AFAIK this is how MacOSX handles the problem... ;-/
