Let me clarify what I was asking in my initial message (sorry about the 
confusion). What I'm looking for is to keep the default hierarchy 
(/usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc.), but I want the entire hierarchy to 
be installed in a directory that I specify, for example $HOME/gnupg. So, it 
would look like this after the install: $HOME/gnupg/usr/local/bin, 
$HOME/gnupg/usr/local/lib, and so on.

I know this may not be an issue unique to gnupg, but this is the first I've 
encountered this problem, which is also why my first post was confusing. I 
hope my question is clear now.

Thanks,
Michel
