So cant you just tell it at configure time it will be in /foo/bar, but
still install it to "$D/foo/bar" ?

Or install it by hand (dobin foo; dolib bar; etc)?

Alternative if not, you can do what we do in divx4linux:


    dosed -e 's|c:\\trace_b.txt|/dev/null\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00|' \
          /usr/lib/libdivxencore.so
