It *looks* innocent and natural, but it's wrong: our DATADIR is set to
${PREFIX}/share/${PORTNAME} by default, that is, it is fully qualified
path with port name included. In GNU world, and particularly in wine
configure script, it is just a common prefix where GNU programs should
put their data; what is, for program `foo' it would be ${datadir}/foo.
When you assign FreeBSD ${DATADIR} as GNU --datadir, you get extra
"wine" path component, which is, of course, bogus and should be fixed.
As been previously mentioned, correctly respecting DATADIR and friends
never actually worded in FreeBSD. I still use %%DATADIR%% macro in
plists but every time I do so without actually checking if DATADIR can
be set independently from PREFIX God kills a kitten. :-(
