While I agree that changing the port based on the user who is compiling
the server is a bit backwards, the argument about how things are done on
Nagoya is handwaving IMNSHO.

We have fixed our installation step to preserve existing config files,
so if you compile as a non-root user, and install over the top of an
existing installation, your port won't change.

This only has to do with how the server is configured the FIRST time the
server is installed.
