The number one reason that I did it this way is so that I didn't
have to change four of your files.  I did what I needed to do without
disrupting your files.  This is good because now you are free to
change your files any way you want and chances are the effects to
the port will be minimal.

This is quite easy to fix from the port's Makefile.

post-patch:
.for f in defs.h Defaults/HomeDaemon.rc
	${PERL} -pi -e 's,/usr/local,${PREFIX},g' ${WRKSRC}/${f}
.endfor

Doh!  I knew that.  Sorry for the dumb question.

# The bottom line is that it saves a "strip" on the installation phase to get
# minimum-size installed binaries.

# The new shar is likely to be smaller.

You can send me either one.  I already have a couple of other changes
to the one I sent you. :)
