   Ok, it turns out there's not a whole lot to do. Configure doesn't touch   
   SETUP.sh or those scripts, and $HOME is already set in user mbse's profile, so   
   all that has to be done in SETUP.sh is to break $MHOME down:   
   MHOME_ROOT=/home (for example), or /opt, or  whatever you need. Then   
   MHOME=$MHOME_ROOT/mbse.    
      
   You can then cd to the script directory and (again, for example):   
      
   sed s@/opt/@/home@/g rundoor.sh bbsdoor.sh   
      
   You can then  go back to the top-level source dir and do the same with    
   SETUP.sh   
   at   
    this point, but if you're compiling on *BSD you'll need then to readjust the   
   BSD   
    references. I haven't done that since I'm not sure where Virtualmin puts its   
   user homes under BSD. I'll check into it when I get a chance.    
      
   Now, change AC_DEFAULT_PREFIX=/opt/mbse to AC_DEFAULT_PREFIX=$HOME, run   
   autoconf, and you're good to go. Unless I've missed something, the only thing   
   left is to change any menu items needed. Configure or anything else doesn't   
   touch any   
   of those that I can see. That's something that might be addressed if/when the   
   code base is overhauled for new features or whatever.    
      
   later,
