Just a sec here.

1) Programs which are part of the FreeBSD source tree should compile cleanly,
and use $DESTDIR/usr/include, $DESTDIR/usr/lib and $DESTDIR/anything_else
for their needs.  This means that a "make world" will be:

	make includes into $DESTDIR/usr/include
	make tools using /usr/bin install into $DESTDIR/usr/bin
	make libs using $DESTDIR into $DESTDIR/usr/lib
	if the "paranoia" option is set
		make includes into $DESTDIR/usr/include
		make tools using $DESTDIR into $DESTDIR/usr/bin
		make libs using $DESTDIR into $DESTDIR/usr/lib
	endif
	make all into $DESTDIR

2) Programs which are not part of FreeBSD can use just what they feel like,
it's entirely their own problem.

Can anybody explain what the problem is with this ?
