 Please close this PR--I never should've opened it.  At the time, I didn't
 understand what cfengine2 was trying to do.  Now I think I do.  I'm not
 at all sure I agree with it, but I understand it.
 
 I now believe it is correct for the port to install everything under
 /usr/local and for cfengine to have hard-wired paths expecting to run
 it from /var/cfengine/bin.  Common practice seems to be to write cfengine
 scripts that copy the binaries you want to run either from a local source
 (e.g. /usr/local/sbin) or a trusted policy host into /var/cfeingine/bin.
 I can't find mention of this expectation in the docs, but the usage
 examples all go this way and it kinda makes sense.
 
 I've also just submitted a port upgrade to version 2.0.6.
 
 Sorry to've troubled you with this.
