   Well, i've only heard one objection, that was: ``Name this thing
   TARGETDIR.''  What about this?

Could do that... There are a few existing occurances of 
-I${DESTDIR}/usr/include, which i am now given to understand are "not
really correct", and should presumably come to be -I${TARGETDIR}/usr/include?

   I would kindly ask you to also do one final test: run a ``make
   release'' (i hope you've got the disk space and the CVS tree for
   this).  This is one of the occasions where ${DESTDIR} is exploitet
   regularly (perhaps the only occasion in the entire FreeBSD tree).  If
   your changes broke the existing ${DESTDIR} behaviour, this should pop
   up there.

   If it doesn't break anything, i see no reason to not include it.

Ok. If i change it to find everything in TARGETDIR, that should
eliminate some of the concerns with DESTDIR, no?
