I look after a port that has a poor Makefile [the one supplied with the
distribution, not the FreeBSD port Makefile].  The principal problem is
where it installs things.

To get the port to do the right thing, I could either: heavily patch the
supplied Makefile or: move files around in the stage tree.

Could someone give me a steer about recommended practice ?
