I'm a little lost in installing spamassassin without using the
./configure approach.  For example:  How does one instruct the 
`make install' to use /usr/local instead of /usr?

I don't know much about makefiles but looking at the one in the
distro Makefile.PL and resulting Makefile, I couldn't tell poop about
how an installation directroy is choosen.

The second line of Makefile.PL says:

my $DEF_RULES_DIR = '$(PREFIX)/share/spamassassin';
But what defines PREFIX.  That instance is the only one in the file. 

Searching thru on DEF_RULES_DIR, I find this:

DEF_RULES_DIR  = $DEF_RULES_DIR
LOCAL_RULES_DIR   = $LOCAL_RULES_DIR

Again it seems singularly useless in trying to understand what is
happening.

Are comments against the Law in Makefiles... hehe.
