Traffic reminds me, I wanted to bring this up.

A couple months back, I was converting the FreeBSD port of ctwm over
to staging, which basically involves 'make install' putting the files
somewhere else than where they will actually be on an installed
system.  This mostly went as uneventually as could be hoped, but I did
find one issue in the Imakefile that needed fixing.

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/x11-wm/ctwm/files/patch-Imakefile?revision=340372&view=markup

I _think_ that's actually a bug that should just be fixed upstream, as
DESTDIR is meant as the install fakeroot, and CONFDIR/PIXMAPDIR
already include the full path relative to real root.  But I'm not an
expert in what Imake means by various things, so I figured I should
get another pair of eyes on it before I pushed it upstream.  So,
anybody know a reason it's wrong?
