Having read the wiki, please let me ask a couple of questions to
make sure there is consensus on what needs to be done to make all
ports DESTDIR happy.

- All ports Makefiles should be checked for installs into PREFIX,
  and replaced by TARGETDIR (or DESTDIR/PREFIX)

- All Makefiles in the workdir should install the DESTDIR/PREFIX,
  so their configure options should be... --prefix? Not really,
  because the datafiles of the program itself are to be found at
  PREFIX, not DESTDIR/PREFIX. Any idea how to resolve this?
