Hello,

Would it be possible to add DESTDIR support in a future release of nfsen? 
I don't know perl or I'd contribute the mods myself.  It is standard with
Makefiles, and even though nfsen doesn't use a Makefile to install itself
it would make packaging it for some package managers much easier.  That
way the install routine can be "installed" to DESTDIR but relocated to
somewhere else by the package manager infrastructure without confusing the
installed program.  This is accomplished by setting all configuration
locations to $PREFIX/path (or $BASEDIR in the case of nfsen) while
installing and copying files to $DESTROOT/$PREFIX.  I'd like to package it
for use with MacPorts and it will require some ugly hacks without DESTDIR
support.  I think openbsd packages require this also, at least when using
certain options.

Best regards,

Mark
