    Trouble with firestarter that it isnt a self contained package. Untidy.

    Did the install as a non root user and the install tries to put stuff in /etc.

    Difficult to uninstall unless you know where everything gets installed.

    Tried ./configure --prefix=/opt/firestarter but files still get put into /etc
    when you do make install.

    To would be a great product if all of the program gets installed into the
    directory specified by --prefix=

    Too Microsoftish......
