I would expect.. It it would for every other program on earth.  Unsure
what you are asking of me to fix.

The package prototype is generated when you do 'buildpkg.sh'. I don't see
how I can remove '/usr/local' from it.  Unless you are asking me to make
the package relocatable.  Which would be rather hard to do, and I'm
currently not up to such a task.  (The main issue is ssh_prng_cmds if you
default to the internal entropy generation system).

UGH.. Email disclaimers are getting as annoying as mIRC colours in efnet.

PLEASE people.. Keep your signatures and disclaimers down to a *FEW*
lines.  It wastes a ton of space.  Do we really need 20 line disclaimers
translated into 20 different languages?!  They are getting LONGER than the
freaking email they are to protect!
