* Um, that doesn't work because your imake config files are saying
* otherwise! bsd.port.mk depends on imake to create the Makefile for X
* utilities. Go into your imake config dir and look at site.def, you
* should find
*
* #define ProjectRoot /usr/X11R6
*
* Change that line to where you want to put your X tree.
Actually, if we really want to change this from within bsd.port.mk, it
is possible. We can make it invoke imake with -DProjectRoot=${PREFIX}
(or X11BASE?).
The problem is that there is no way to pass this option through xmkmf,
and calling imake directly might give us compatibility problems when
future releases of X comes out with an xmkmf that calls imake with
a different set of arguments (currently it's "imake -DUseInstalled
-I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config" with a preceding mv to backup the
Makefile).
Also, I'm not convinced that this is a good idea anyway. If you want
your X stuff in a different place, you *should* edit your site.def or
you'll have to fix your Makefiles every time you call xmkmf by
yourself and not from bsd.port.mk.
