Thanks, Jason! I've corrected most of them.
As for "/usr/local/share/certs/ca-root-nss.crt", it's a cert file installed
by security/ca_root_nss. I can't figure out how to determine its location
automatically, but I think ${PREFIX} is not proper either, so I replace
/usr/local with ${LOCALBASE}.
Now it seems that the only problem left is to create a wrapper script for
the binary. I don't know where to find tutorials. Is there a google example
that I can refer to? Roughly, I need to know where to place the original
binary, how to name the wrapper, whether there's anything additional to do
except copying files and executing the original binary, etc.
