I am reviving an old thread due to a discussion on

Guide, however, states:
<cite>
File dependencies may be of three types: bin for programs, lib for libraries,
and path for any installed file. File dependencies are specifed in the form:
<type>:<filespec>:<port>. For bin dependencies, <filespec> is the name of a
program in a bin directory like${prefix}/bin. For lib dependencies, <filespec>
is the name of a library in a lib directory like ${prefix}/lib but without its
extension. For path dependencies, <filespec> is the complete absolute path to
the file, or more usually, when the file is inside${prefix}, it is specified
relative to ${prefix}.
</cite>
The above doesn't mention that bin: or lib: would actually be satisfied with
anything outside prefix. It reads as if it would only below the prefix.
So, what's correct now?
