<para><parameter>--libexecdir=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0`/sbin</parameter>: This switch puts
libexec files in <filename class="directory">$GNOME_PREFIX/sbin</filename> instead of
<filename class="directory">$GNOME_PREFIX/libexec</filename>.</para>

<para><parameter>--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome</parameter>: This switch
puts configuration files in <filename class="directory">/etc/gnome</filename> instead of
<filename class="directory">$GNOME_PREFIX/etc</filename>.  This installation controls all
future installations of schemas. If you change the location (which
includes eliminating this parameter), it <emphasis>must</emphasis> be
consistent for every subsequent installation.</para>

<para><option>--disable-gtk-doc</option>: This switch prevents the rebuilding 
of the documentation during the <command>make</command> command.</para>
