Hi Luke,

We don't have any configure options that would achieve this.  Like you 
suggest, you could modify the sfcb_install() function of 
provider_register.sh so that it points to the proper location.

Or, you could use symlinks so that the executables show up in a standard 
location.  This is probably the better option, because then you can grab 
a new clone of the tree or a new tarball without having to update 
provider_register.sh.
