This will allow us to build against libarchive wherever It is installed in the system.

Why not just do things like this? Less hassle for us to maintain, we don't do this for any other library, etc.

./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/non-standard-dir/include LDFLAGS=-L/non-standard-dir/lib

That's how I'm already doing it: http://gitorious.org/pacman-bsd/srcpkgs/blobs/untested/pacman-bsd/PKGBUILD

So, I don't mind If you send this strait to trash.

I'm just sharing patches.

Ahh, OK. I was just looking around at what is recommended in this situation and I didn't know what was up. I think it would be best to just leave this out, as it is tied to this one library and doesn't seem like something that many people are going to have to worry about. Those that do can just use the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS override. -Dan
