  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>Hi, One thing I liked about the configure script in 5.0 is the fact that
  35 </I>&gt;<i>you could have the script prompt you for the directories to install into.
  36 </I>&gt;<i>In 5.1 pre0 the script defaults to /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/sbin it
  37 </I>&gt;<i>would be nice if you could re add this prompting as not everyone
  38 </I>&gt;<i>installing ircservices will be root on the system they are installing it
  39 </I>&gt;<i>on and having the script prompt for the directories was a nice thing.
  40 </I>
  41      I've removed the prompts to match the style of the configuration
  42 process used by most other open-source software.  You can still set the
  43 installation directories using the -bindest, -datdest, or -prefix options
  44 (this is unchanged since version 5.0).
