David,
These path tests are _really_ broken ... I tossed 'em completely in one
of the earlier abortive attempts to support installation relocation
within configure.in ... these got really messy, and Frank has
volunteered to clean up the handling of the paths between configure.in,
the GNUmakefiles and Makepkgs.
In the interim, can you describe the problem your patch was trying to
fix so we can see if there is a way to address that problem pending the
"proper" solution?
