packaging and config params

[David Reiser]

It looks like I am going to inherit the fink gnucash maintainership.  
Argh. The 2.0.1 packaging file by someone who knows what he's doing  
is functional, except that the contents of libexec are built in the  
install tree instead of the build tree (with the side effect that  
removing gnucash leaves behind the libexec files).

fink apparently doesn't like having a libexec directory, so gnucash  
has been configured in fink with --libexecdir=%p/lib, where %p almost  
always represents /sw. This substitution/config parameter was also  
done for at least the 1.8 series of gnucash too.

So /sw/lib/gnucash/overrides/* gets created at buildtime instead of  
waiting for installtime.

Is it obvious to any of you what might be causing this behavior, or  
how I might convince the fink build system of the error of its ways?
