+UGLY HACK: Symlink the `Savane` perl module to the server's sitelib.
+This alleviate the need to set custom PERL5LIB, while keep all of savannah's
+custom code under `/opt/savannah`. Improving this is a desired TODO item
+(by either doing away with `Savane.pm` or changing the perl script
+to self-locate the required modules. See [[SavannahHackingIdeas]]).
 
-> FIXME: The following only applies to vcs0:
->
-> Unfortunately the Savane Perl modules are
-> still installed in '/usr/local' (the 'prefix' is likely not passed
-> to the perl part during configure/make).
-> That's not too bad, as it saves the need for custom PERL5LIB setting.
