I think it's a mistake to force the location of a package.  The issues 
are really the path for programs, headers, and libraries.  The 
pkg-config files are designed to help with that along with a few 
environment variables: PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or ld.so.conf), and 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

Other variables that really shouldn't be necessary are LIBRARY_PATH, 
C_INCLUDE_PATH, and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH that are explicitly for gcc.  I 
don't recall ever having to use these before I started looking at Trinity.

Perhaps the biggest problem I have is that I do not have Xorg in /usr 
(although there is a symlink form /usr/X11R6 to /opt/xorg).  I build it 
in /opt for the same reason you build Trinity in /opt, but there doesn't 
seem to be an easy way to account for that.

It took me a while to find the PKGBUILD files.  It's interesting how 
close they are to what I came up with on my own, but they are very helpful.

One of the problems I have is the prerequsites for many packages.  You 
interface with some of the older libraries.  For example, we just 
removed xmms from BLFS because it only supports GTK1 and we decided that 
two versions (gtk2 and gtk3) were enough for us.  The most recent commit 
to gtk1 is 2003.

The fix to admin/acinclude.m4 is the sed above.

I don't think the comment about --sysconfdir and --localstatedir for 
kdeadmin is an issue,  I just don't think they are used in that package, 
and indeed, they are not set in the kdeadmin PKGBUILD file.
