-<itemizedlist>
-<listitem><para>Gawk's default location for some of its executables is
-<filename>$prefix/libexec/awk</filename>. This location doesn't comply
-with the FHS, which never even mentions a directory called
-<filename>libexec</filename>. The patch makes it possible to pass a
-<emphasis>--libexecdir</emphasis> switch to the configure script, so that we
-can use a more appropriate location for the <userinput>grcat</userinput> and
-<userinput>pwcat</userinput> binaries:
-<filename>/usr/lib/gawk</filename>.</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>Gawk's default data directory is
-<filename>$prefix/share/awk</filename>. But package-specific
-directories should be named using the package name and version number
-(for example: <filename>gawk-7.7.2.</filename>) and not simply the package
-name, as there may be different versions of a package installed on the system.
-The patch changes the name of the data directory to the correct
-<filename>$prefix/share/gawk-&gawk-version;</filename>.</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>The patch also ensures that this data directory, including its
-contents, is removed on a <emphasis>make uninstall</emphasis>.</para></listitem>
