I need to install mediawiki, but I want to install it in a different 
location - in my home directory in a directory named wiki.

I've read about DESTDIR, but I'm not certain that will work as I intend. 
If I run make install DESTDIR=/homedir/wiki, will the port install as 
/homedir/wiki/mediawiki? Or will it install in /homedir/wiki?
