Simply because dependant software expects them under
SOMEPREFIX/{include,lib}.
I'd like this changed to standardized layout, i.e. binaries to
in ${PREFIX}/bin, manpages under ${PREFIX}/${PKGMANDIR},
libraries under ${PREFIX}/lib/freetds/ and includes under
${PREFIX}/include/freetds/.
The first two should be quite simple using configure arguments.
The other two should be as simple too, but require patching
other software in pkgsrc tree first.
