No, that was fine.  I understand what you are saying.  I was actually thinking 
that myself, I was just wondering if anyone had any easier way.  It's not a 
big deal really, I just change the default install dirs on one port.  That 
means that I change all of 4 lines in a Makefile, I was just wondering.  
Thanks anyway man.

Cheers
