Do you really consider that as a valid use case? Putting
libexecdir's files into `/foo/' and everything else into
`/foo/foo/{bin,share,...}/'?
Yes, I have ended up using similar hacks on several occassions.
If this really bothers you I can add that functionality, of course.
Thanks.

Those are not used within GNU Mach.
That is where the manual gets installed. Looking at the Makefile.in,
it is hardcoded to the incorrect value of $(prefix)/info, but that is
for another day.

I was under the impression that his patches were for the Hurd only.
I think he did something for GNU Mach too.
Thanks.
