openssh unix dev - Nov 2009 - Alternate Install Location Patch Proposal

Hi All,

Below (and attached) is a patch that will allow openssh to be installed in an
alternate location.  This is essential when cross-compiling.  The cross-compile
use case is:

   configure [bunch-of-options]
   make
   DESTDIR=<alt-location> make install-nokeys

I believe the patch may also be useful for non-cross-compiling cases.

Regards,
...doug

You can already do that with "make install-nokeys
DESTDIR=<alt-location>".

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
