(This was discussed in articles <3279@osu-eddie.UUCP> and
<8703041827.AA16574@cleo> in March.)

We keep local things under /u/osu/{bin,lib,include} which caused some
installation grief.  One would hope that modifying DESTDIR, CONFDIR,
and XDIR might help, but it's not really so.  The install: targets are
pretty hardwired to put things under `whatever' and `whatever/lib',
rather than `whatever/bin' and `whatever/lib'.

The bad news: you must edit each instance of a mv, cp, or install in
each Makefile's install: targets to put things where you want them.

Hopefully, the X11 distribution will be a little easier to install in
non-standard locations?
