I am confused about how this works. (The PREFIX thingy.) I've grepped
around /usr/X11R6/Lib/X11 and some of the X-ports makefiles, and I am
badly confused now. (Too much work also!!).
There is no mention of PREFIX in any of the {M}{Im}akefiles of the
following ports: xv, xearth, ghostview, xdvi. There is also no mention
of PREFIX in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/*. Has this ever worked, is is it
something else I can bang on?
