No, --prefix is not supported because
  make install
is not supported. The primary reason is that we always felt that to do 
useful programming you need to debug into the library source files (e.g. 
to see where an exception was coming from) and if you need the source 
files around there's not much point in installing the libraries to some 
other location. I'm actually curious to hear what others have to say about 
this (e.g. whether it makes sense to install stuf and why).

If I want several versions of deal.II, I usually just check out several 
copies into parallel directories...

Best
 W.
