Hello,

I am attempting to create an ebuild for ircd-hybrid.  This irc server
requires that the path to where it is installed get compiled into the
binary.  I have verified that $P does not cut it (it is the location
of the temorary image directory).

How is something like this handled in portage?  Can I know during the 
build where the final destination will be?  Should I just "hard code" what 
is probably the typical case?

Thanks,

John
