+Summary: gacutil should have -destdir option
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+When one wants to support DESTDIR installation to the gac, one needs to use:
+
+gacutil -root $(DESTDIR)/usr/lib -package ... -i ... 
+
+where the /usr/lib part need to obtained by some tricky configury magic
+(for example it is not `pkg-config --libdir mono`, because for some reason
+on amd64 dlls are installed to /usr/lib and not /usr/lib64 (where the .so
+files are installed).
+
+The -destdir option would cure this:
+
+gacutil -destdir "$(DESTDIR)" -package ... -i ...
