To say that I am interested in the outcome would be an understatement.

I fixed my perl problems by invoking the Makefile (not the GNUmakefile) for the
second install and setting PREFIX properly then. Yes, the second install
phase. I'll see if I can't fix this a little better -- but my goal was to get
a build so that I can start fixing some things.

Most of the stuff I am having to 'fix' is kludgery that Peter's config and
makefile changes are eliminating :-).

But having to regen patches and rebuild from scratch each time I change the
spec makes it time-consuming..... But the single DESTDIR addition makes it a
much easier and cleaner build
