New submission from Dave Love <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I `should' (following the GNU-ish conventions) be able to configure
and build with, say, the default $prefix and then just `make install
prefix=...' to install under another name.  (This is generally
necessary if, for instance, /usr/local is a read-only mount point.)
The current build system goes to some lengths to defeat this for some
reason, unlike any other package I know.

Is there actually a good reason for that, or would you accept a patch
to give the normal autoconf behaviour?
