Sorry if I'm being confusing...  I'm not asking or suggesting the  
defaults be changed, just pointing out when things can't be overriden  
without resorting to more fragile patches to individual files.  0.11  
is already leaps and bounds ahead of 0.10 in this regard.  Because  
MacPorts installs things in places pretty much guaranteed not to be  
the defaults (all under /opt/local) its much easier to catch hardcoded  
paths that may linger.

My goal is just to be able to do everything via environment variables  
(e.g. CFLAGS) and flags to configure in the final 0.11 release.

Thanks,
Eric
