Dear developer

This is not a bug in the correct sence of the word, but rather a request
for enhancment.


I have attached a patch to make the Makefiles care about the variable
DESTDIR. The reason for this is that this variable is the best way of
ensuring the possibility of creating gnats rpm packages. The variable
should not mess other build systems, but I have not tested it at all on
non-rpm systems.

The patch was made against the source from the debian package, as the
gnu ftp nightmare still is not quite 'there'. :)


Hope you find the opportunity to include my changes (or similar) in the
next upstream release.


regards


c
