Hi everybody,
Sorry for the late follow-up on something a little off topic, but I just
did a some research regarding these symlink-based package managers, which
might be helpful to people on this list...

Shouldn't it be
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make prefix=/usr/local/encap/subversion-rXYZ install
?

Maybe this is fixed by the above? Also take a look at srcpkg, which
allows you to install to /usr/local. srcpkg automatically recognises
all the installed files based on c/mtime and/or filesize and moves them
to their own directory before replacing them with symlinks. This
directory could even be managed by epkg then.
Just some thoughts. Back to lurking mode.
