Thanks for the NTP tip.  I followed their example and it's basically
doing as I'd like.  The only problem with their solution is that
./configure --help has:

 --enable-local-libopts
 --disable-libopts-install

which are now basically the defaults.  For now I can just release note
it, but a more elegant solution would be appreciated.

Thanks again,
Aaron
