Hi,

just found out that DESTDIR does not work:

   make DESTDIR=/var/tmp/texlive-root install

tries to install within the / hierarchy which is a bug.
Beside this I'd like to see the following change in
libs/freetype2/configure:


--- libs/freetype2/configure
+++ libs/freetype2/configure	2006-08-15 15:38:44.000000000 +0000

 # call make
 
-CFG="$@" $GNUMAKE setup unix
+CFG=
+for x in ${1+"$@"}; do
+  CFG="$CFG \"$x\""
+done
+CFG=$CFG $GNUMAKE setup unix
 
 # eof

to be able to handle configure options with string including spaces.
