* make package PREFIX=/usr/local works
Of course, but that means automatic package generation from the parent
dir will no longer work! ;)
And I don't think we should put PREFIX=/usr/local in the Makefile
either, that would hard-code the port into /usr/local.

* I did not change this because I prefer to install everything in
* /usr/local than in /usr/X11R6 :-)
Well, I understand your preference, but the whole imake paradigm is
designed to put things in one place, like it or not.
* The problem with the ports using Imake is that there is no mechanism
* in bsd.port.mk to install them in another location than $X11BASE.
That's a "feature". Ports with Imakefiles are usually happy with
$X11BASE. Let's not bend ourselves backwards to accomodate authors
who do things they are not supposed to, ok? :)
* I
* should have written a configure script to set BINDIR, MANDIR and
* HELPDIR:
* echo "BINDIR=$PREFIX/bin" >> $WRKSRC/Imakefile
* etc...
* but I am lazy those days :-)
You can just change them like I said, and you don't even need that. :)
