BTW, I am constantly amazed at FreeBSD ports maintainers' continued insistence that X, Y or Z "can't be done" when in fact everybody else is already doing it, and FreeBSD is the odd one out with innumberable hacks and tweaks to make it work "our way" instead of the way everybody else does it. This debate is a perfect example of this: the rest of the world already installs everything (X, KDE, Gnome...) under a single prefix - usually /usr - yet FreeBSD port maintainers insist that it can't possibly be done.
