I've moved up to FDS 1.1 on richm's advise, and am now stuck with the
behaviour of the 'prefix' command in the inf file:

See my attached file, which I thought would install the configuration
and data into the prefix, using the binaries in ServerRoot.

It seems to me that prefix is being appended unconditionally, and that
it still doesn't want to just put the configuration outside the
ServerRoot.
