    It's quite common for FreeBSD ports to put stuff in different places
    from the unpatched software.

    I've seen posts from Mike Meyer on the list, so I think he might be
    subscribed.

    Anyway, there's one last minor issue with the patch: one part of the
    documentation that mentions /etc says something along "This is how I
    do it." Touching text that starts with this feels awkward (to say
    the least), but leaving the /etc references unchanged would leave a
    confusing discrepancy... Which I can live with, but is rewording
    that part of documentation an option?
