Why is the postgresql82 port installed in the file locations its

It is spread out strangely, and this making me pull some black
magic to get a port that depends on it working, that I would rather
not do.
It installs the following data in the following places:
--sysconfdir=${prefix}/etc/${name} \
--bindir=${prefix}/lib/${name}/bin \
--libdir=${prefix}/lib/${name} \
--includedir=${prefix}/lib/${name}/include/${name} \
I am porting an autoconf-based package (libgda3) that detects
postgres database libraries in /path/to/postgres/lib and is fairly
inflexible about this.
I would like to suggest that maybe we need to create a space in $
{prefix} where ports that need to be installed in a private
namespace can be installed there, such as ${prefix}/port In the
case of postgresql82, this would mean installing in ${prefix}/port/
postgresql82 (although I would leave the conf dir where it is at)
The php5 port pulls some black magic to work with the layout of the
mysql5 port. It's not too bad.
