Using cygport for a local install


Suppose I want to modify and rebuild a cygwin package that was created using cygport. I may want to install it in /usr/local to avoid conflict with the official version. One way to do this (I think) is to add options like --prefix=/usr/local, --bindir=/usr/local/bin, etc., to the call to cygconf. Is this the recommended method, or does cygport provide a simpler way to do it?
