I'm working on an update to security/bro, and I plan to take over=20
maintainership.  However, I've run into a problem that I don't know how to=20
solve.

By default this program installs everything in /usr/local/bro.  This=20
includes the docs, the binaries, the libraries, includes, everything.  I=20
can use configure args to define datadir, bindir, sysconfdir, libdir and=20
includedir, but that leaves the rest of the programs directories installing =

in /usr/local.  The program creates a number of directories, including=20
archive, logs, policy, reports, scripts, site and var.

If I use the configure arg --prefix=3D${PREFIX}/bro, that solves the =
problem=20
of the "extra" dirs and files, but then it changes --prefix, and so the=20
bindir, etc. is now in the wrong place again.

Has anyone run across this type of problem?  If so, how do you solve it?
