 Hello,
 
 I did not realize until today that you had actually re-opened this pr. I
 still do not approve this patch.
 
 I imagine that the relevant text in the porter's handbook you are referring
 to is: "Avoiding the hard-coding of /usr/local or /usr/X11R6 anywhere in th=
 e
 source will make the port much more flexible and able to cater to the needs
 of other sites. "
 
 The port is perfectly flexible and able to cater to the needs of other site=
 s
 because the software provides an environment variable SBCL_HOME which
 overrides the default value. This fact is documented in every reasonable
 place (the manual, online, man pages, README etc.). In addition I would
 recommend the user set this enviroment variable even for the default prefix
 because it is known to eliminate some problems with core files.
 
 I am interested in making this port more "plug and play" for new users, but
 I will not ever approve this patch as submitted because it contains
 unnecessary files/* for FreeBSD.
 
 Thank you,
 Paul
