Looks ok.  The files should be:

$PREFIX/share/doc/rdiff-backup-{version}
$PREFIX/share/man/man1/rdiff-backup.1
$PREFIX/bin/rdiff-backup
$PYTHONDIR/rdiff_backup

I'm a bit surprised there is no uninstall in python's distutils, but
apparently there isn't...

Some other rdiff-backup user was complaining about that, so he patched
distutils to accept --includedir and --libdir command line options I
think.  It probably got accepted, so maybe it will be easier with
python 2.3.

    What kind of package management system does FreeBSD use?  Ports,
like OpenBSD?  I think someone told me that rdiff-backup was packaged
for OpenBSD's ports system already (though I don't suppose the two
systems are compatible).
