Installing outside prefix

[Yves de Champlain]

Hi

I am trying to make a port with gutenprint (was gimp-print) and it  
will install a lot of stuff outside of prefix because if its relation  
to cups (in /etc/cups, /usr/share/cups and /usr/libexec/cups).  Now I  
don't think I can just put everything inside prefix unless I create a  
cups port which would be just creating another kind of problem.

Now, I am tempted to think it would be better to NOT create such a port.

Any advised and enlightening opinions on this ?

thanks

yves
