I don't either to be honest.  I just poked at it until it did what I 
wanted.  I *think* it was installing under lib rather than share, but I 
can't remember any more.  :-)

Hrm... I think the default install target strips executables as well... 
file shows it as stripped, how can I check if the embedded resources are 
there?

suggestions.  :-)

If libzip isn't installed, embedded resources won't be used.

I seem to remember only a ZIP archive being available on one and a 
tarball being available on the other.

Ok, I've subscribed there... I'll try to get port updates done as new 
releases happen.
