Description:
ksh could be installed in /bin instead of /usr/bin

add exec_prefix=$startdir/pkg/ to make install
pksh.install must be updated then

just a feature request or a suggestion. because the thing i want to install depends on pdksh and want it to be in /bin. don't know where every body excepts ksh or pdksh to be.

beware it might then conflict with ksh from aur that install in /bin

Additional info:
pdksh 5.2.14-4
This task depends upon

You should use wrapper scripts to facilitate the transition. See tcsh or zsh for example.

Yes, pdksh should be installed to /bin
As it is now breaks scripts that expect it to be in /bin (#!/bin/ksh). Took me a while to figure out why some proprietary tools were refusing to run on Arch.
