Hehe, applause applause, you cought me :-) I wrote this when working on
ConfigCenter. It was then before I actually wrote the code base, and it was
meant to be as project-inspecific as I could... and I didn't know a thing about
automake, so I just copied some automake files from the old source and modified
them as far as I could... I know of this but have been too lazy to correct ;-)
Got more urgent things to implement ;-)
BTW: It was mainly because of some people prefering /opt, and some prefering
/usr/local ;-)
C'ya,
