I'm working on a port of Sun Grid Engine and I've got a question
about an odd installation issue. SGE is one of those poorly behaved
applictions that insists on installing all of its files under a
single directory which must be in the SGE_ROOT environmental variable
when it is run. My port currently installs with SGE_ROOT equal to
${PREFIX}/sge which should be fine for most people, but I'd like to
support installation at an arbitrary location. Is there a reasionable
way to do that? The only real issue seems to be with the plist. I
can't figure out how to have files live somewhere other then under
PREFIX. I suppose I could do something hackish like make SGE_ROOT default
to something ${PREFIX}/${SGE_ROOT_SUFFIX} and then let the user choose
an arbitrary directory by setting PREFIX=3D/ and SGE_ROOT_SUFFIX to the
absolute path.
