right, but the thing is that IMHO you should be able to use a layout, and
then override parts of it on the command line.
that is the way things "should" be, and if they had been that way then
this wouldn't break anything. And IMHO, other things are broken (eg. "use
GNU layout but install into /foobar") even without the below change.
So I think the task is to figure out how to make layouts and autoconf play
more nicely, then that will fix this problem too. Figuring this out
though... I can take a look, but I try to be as un-autoconf-y a person as
possible.
