Comment:

 The problem I'm currently seeing with out-of-source `make install` (after
 successful `../configure --prefix=/tmp/mm --with-install-user=$(id -un)`
 and `make`) is:

 {{{
 for f in archive_sites.conf macports.conf pubkeys.conf sources.conf
 variants.conf; do \
                 /opt/local/bin/ginstall -c -o "rschmidt" -g "admin" -m 444
 "$f" "/tmp/mm/etc/macports/${f}.default"; \
                 if test ! -e "/tmp/mm/etc/macports/$f" ; then \
                         set -x; \
                         /opt/local/bin/ginstall -c -o "rschmidt" -g
 "admin" -m 644 "$f" "/tmp/mm/etc/macports"; \
                 fi; \
         done
 ginstall: cannot stat 'archive_sites.conf': No such file or directory
 + /opt/local/bin/ginstall -c -o rschmidt -g admin -m 644
 archive_sites.conf /tmp/mm/etc/macports
 ginstall: cannot stat 'archive_sites.conf': No such file or directory
 }}}

 etc. for the other conf files.
