Which is OK, but it is important to ensure that configuring it out of the
build won't prevent it from being usable (taking out the compiled-in path,
for instance).  If the compiled-in path still works, then taking it out of
just the build sounds fine to me.

This should be fixed with @exec entries in PLIST, or an INSTALL file.  That
directory certainly should exist when installing a binary package, for the
same reason it should exist when installing from source.  8-)

: Anyhow, I'll stop getting in the way on this one.  Sorry for the hassle.

No problem.  Sorry for the alarm, too; that came out more harshly than I
originally intended.
