It should be easy enough to modify horae_update and/or Makefile.PL to
recognize this situation and act accordingly.  For the installation
location business, that is easy enough to change at "make install"
time.  Look at the `private_install' script to see how it is done --
it's easy.  As for changes to Makefile.PL to build a working .bs file
-- just let me know what needs to be done and I'll make the changes.
