Hi Eric,

Just a quick note on a few points:

I assume you mean the bit printed out to the user in the "What you need
to do now..." bit? I hadn't noticed that actually, so I'll take a look
at fixing that. (Should just be a matter of swapping /usr/local with
@prefix@ I think.)

I'm not sure how similar MacPorts are to FreeBSD ports, but if they are
closely-related, you may wish to look at my FreeBSD port as I "fix" some
of these locally in the port (specifically PREFIX-related issues such as
/etc/box).

The current working version is in our svn tree here:

I believe Chris fixed this with r2034 in trunk.
