        Great - thanks!

        Actually *almost* all of the packages I need seem to
        have PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT. Is there a switch that can be
        set that forces destdir usage (and breaks the build of
        packages which do not support it?) Something we can
        encourage developers to set :)
