 port contents irssi puts most files in /opt/local/share/irssi/
 irssi works well with a port install command, and needs no altering to be
 able to get on irc, though I am finding some areas that I believe could
 use improving.

 One of the settings in the ~/.irssi/config, is:
 help_path = /usr/local/share/irssi/help

 This path is set by default, I believe internally, to
 /usr/local/share/irssi/help, I am not sure if that can be changed with a
 configure arg, though it should be set to /opt/local/share/irssi/help

 Not sure how to deal with that if it can not be set as a configure
 argument.

 `man irssi` shares the same issues, reference to paths that are outside of
 {prefix}

 What is the suggested way to solve these?  I am willing to see what I can
 do to the port file to make it work out better, but in this case, I am not
 sure how to go about this, other than ui messages that tell the user to
 issue /set.
