+The default installation settings of xdm match those used for most platforms
+in the previous X.Org releases:
+
+Scripts & modules: $(libdir)/X11/xdm (aka $(prefix)/lib/X11/xdm)
+Configuration files: $(libdir)/X11/xdm
+Pixmap files: $(libdir)/X11/xdm/pixmaps
+Log files: /var/log
+Process id/lock files: /var/run
+
+These may be overridden with the following options to configure:
+Scripts & modules: --with-xdmlibdir
+Configuration files: --with-xdmconfigdir (or --with-xdmlibdir)
+Pixmap files: --with-xdmpixmapdir (or --with-xdmlibdir)
+Log files: --with-logdir
+Process id/lock files: --with-piddir
+
+For instance, some packagers/sites may prefer:
+ --with-xdmconfigdir=/etc/X11/xdm --with-xdmlibdir=$(prefix)/lib/xdm
