Right, sure.

Perfect.

Oh, huh. So I need to specify both install_base_relpath *and*  
prefix_relpath? Why wouldn't both be covered by a single method call?

So as a module author, if I require that it be installed, I just need  
to make sure that both install_base_relpath and prefix_relpath are  
specified and that the user use either install_path, install_base, or  
prefix, right?

Oh, really? /me tries that...yep, sure enough. Thanks, Randy!
