./autogen.sh

Thankfully, mostly in regards to this list and IRC help, Gentoo is now
working to my liking.  I'd like to keep working on my own development
projects again.  I just want to know what I should set the --prefix and
--sysconfdir to in a gentoo system.  It seems there is a method in teh
FAQ to compile your own projects using ebuild, I however would just like
to work right off of cvs and not have to go through ebuild.

On debian and redhat, I always used --prefix=/usr and --sysconfdir=/etc

Is it the same for gentoo?

Thanks in advance.
