This is actually setup exactly how it's meant to be, while not the 
prettiest solution it is the one that the author supports. As you'll 
see, that message is almost an exact duplicate from the install guide 
from awstats, reference: 
http://awstats.sourceforge.net/docs/awstats_setup.html while I don't 
agree with the method totally, I have done this due to a huge volume of 
email asking for help setting up awstats. Most people that were asking 
for support had or would read the install guide if pointed in that 
direction, however the old port layout would never have worked in this 
way. The only deviation from the authors, is the local file system 
path, and that's only because it's not a good idea to install to 
/usr/local, and there was no purpose to the wwwroot, except for nesting 
even further in our setup.

I don't read a problem here, I assume this is a cosmetic fix request, 
if there is a problem please give me details of it, and I'll look into 
it.
