I just changed it so it won't do this anymore, but what I need to
know exactly is how do you intend to do submakes, e.g. do you intend
to manually compile the library, NOT do the install, then go to a
subdir, run make all, and that's it?
make install (IMO) still needs $(prefix) to be defined to a sane
setting, so it's now only a requirement for install.
