I tried that at first, but the DESTDIR captures '/usr' in the tarball, 
so I dropped it to '/'.  I suppose I could filter out '/usr' when 
creating  the tarball.

Fair enough, I'll capture my build instructions there.

Actually I didn't work that hard at all, I simply pulled that latest 
source from Mercurial, so no manual patching was required.

I agree with the release notes, but I'm not sure about the automated 
build scripts, since I have never supplied them before with any other 
package I've provided (I seem to remember having this discussion before 
but can't seem to find a reference to it).

I look forward to having something like this.  ;)
