Are those the only defaults that should change? These are the only ones we are actively using, but perhaps it would be confusing to have --prefix still point to /usr/local whereas --localstatedir and --sysconfdir point to something appropriate for --prefix=3D/. (I'm in favor of setting the expected defaults for --localstatedir and --sysconfdir.) --=20 Ricardo
