I think I know what you mean, but not clear on the "their DESTDIR is
skewed" bit.

I'm not sure what I meant here either.  Thank-you for taking the time to 
read the entire e-mail! :)

Would it be sufficient to have an INSTALL_PREFIX and/or INSTALL_DESTDIR
so that DESTDIR can be different during install ?
[I was recently experimenting with something similar...]


So how would that work?

pre-install:
INSTALL_DESTDIR=/usr/obj/crossoutroot/
DESTDIR=${INSTALL_DESTDIR}

do-install:

?  I will try something like that.

Thank-you for taking the time to reply Simon,
