 Is there a problem if these find commands traverse ${PREFIX}/share/
 rather than ${PREFIX}/ ? docbookx.dtd, iso*amsb.ent and chunk.xsl are
 installed under share/ in FreeBSD world.
 
 Imagine if you have /usr/local/etc/cvsup/prefixes/ made by
 net/cvsup-mirror port. There are symlinks to /home/ncvs under
 prefixes/. Because of that, pkg-install of scrollkeeper needlessly
 traverses /home/ncvs tree entirely three times. Imagine if you have
 some other *BSD and XF* CVS tree. :-)
 
 And, I think some of ${PREFIX}'s in pkg-install which refer to the
 files installed by other ports should be ${LOCALBASE}, but this is a
 separate issue.
