Isn't PREFIX=/usr/local the standard ? I can't find an accurate description (but one that comes close is on http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Directory-Variables, see below). My understanding has always been that system components should install with PREFIX=/usr and others (additional software, "local" packages) with PREFIX=/usr/local .
