Hi Mark,

I'm replacing --with-orcallator-dir with --with-var-dir, so you'll
have the same capability to specify where the directories go.

With --with-var will point at one directory above the orcallator dir.
So normally, you would have

--with-orcallator-dir=/var/orca/orcallator

and now you would use

--with-var-dir=/var/orca

and the installation for orcallator implicitly adds the last 'orcallator'
to get the same location.

This causes problems if you don't have the last directory named orcallator,
but I did it since Orca will have more than one data measurement tool
and I wanted to have all the data in one place.

Best,
Blair
