Ah. This makes sense to me now, but wasn't what I thought when I configured
it to attempt to start "/sbin/named" ;( I read DESTDIR to be equivalent to
the autoconf-style "--prefix". Let me see if I was just tired, or maybe I
can suggest a documentation change.

BTW, "transfer-source" now being a global option made a lot of happy people
here last night. ;) Danke.
