    19 <listitem><para>Gawk's default location for some of its executables is

    21 with the FHS, which never even mentions a directory called
    22 <filename>libexec</filename>. The patch makes it possible to pass a
    23 <emphasis>--libexecdir</emphasis> switch to the configure script, so that we
    24 can use a more appropriate location for the <userinput>grcat</userinput> and

    28 <listitem><para>Gawk's default data directory is

    30 directories should be named using the package name and version number
    31 (for example: <filename>gawk-7.7.2.</filename>) and not simply the package
    32 name, as there may be different versions of a package installed on the system.
    33 The patch changes the name of the data directory to the correct
