Hi list

I have been tracking the 0.12 branch without any larger problems for a 
while now. But a recent commit is giving me a bit of a headache and I'm 
wondering if anyone has an idea what I could do about this.

My routine is:

svn up
./configure --prefix=~/Kopete [a bunch of other arguments]
cp /usr/local/bin/libtool .
cd kopete
gmake
gmake install

The problem now is that since the <customwidgets> tags have been added 
to Kopete's .ui files, make builds and libtool insists on installing a 
libkopetewidgets.so file into kde_widgetdir, which configure sets to:

/usr/local/lib/kde3/plugins/designer

Of course, as a normal user, I have no permissions to write to that 
directory. And I don't want to write there either. I am definitely not 
planning on using Qt designer.

After reading through configure, configure.in and lots of Google search 
results I still can't figure out how to change this behavior. So, my 
question is whether anybody has found a way to point kde_widgetdir to a 
different directory and/or disable the installation of the custom widget 
library?

Right now I am just editing the relevant Makefile and .la archive. I 
could automate this with sed, but it would still be a horrible hack. 
There must be a better way...
