Use the --with-layout=[F:]ID option to select a particular installation
- path base-layout. You always _HAVE_ to select a base-layout. There are
- many layouts pre-defined in the file config.layout: `Apache' for
- the classical Apache path layout, `GNU' for a path layout conforming
- to the GNU `standards' document, and others that conform to vendor-
- specific layout standards. You can browse the available layouts by
- looking in the config.layout file. When you want to use your own custom
- layout FOO, either add a corresponding "<Layout FOO>...</Layout>" section
- to config.layout and use --with-layout=FOO or place it into your own
- file, say config.mypaths, and use --with-layout=config.mypaths:FOO.

Use the --show-layout option to check the final installation path layout
while fiddling with the options above.
