The /var/bbackupd directory is the one I really care about for  
MacPorts.  That belongs in /opt/local/var/bbackupd in the MP hierarchy  
(/var which is actually /private/var is left for Apple).  Having the  
default be /var and not ${prefix}/var makes sense for most people, but  
the knob to override it would be good.

Thanks,
