I'm interested, although I'm not a [Gambit-C] developer, but a user that would like to make packages instead of installing "in place." I now have Gambit installed in /usr/local/Gambit-C instead of making it into a Slackware package (that can be easily removed or upgraded).

HOWEVER, I would love to hear Professor Feeley's rationale for the installation directory structure, especially since I noticed that Snow works the same way.

Speaking about Snow. In May I sent 3 patches among which a DESTDIR patch for snow to the snow user list and have heard nothing since.[1]

Yes, it's a low-traffic list. I stopped using Snow for other reasons.
