some touchups should be done i think with the build process in terms of 
install paths ...

currently docs are installed into '$(prefix)/doc/$(PACKAGE)' ... normally this 
would resolve to /usr/doc ... this is the old way of installing docs, the new 
accepted manor is to install into /usr/share/doc/$(PACKAGE)/ ...

datafiles are a little funky ... normally packages would install themselves 
based upon ${datadir} (./configure --datadir=blah), but tuxtype2 bases itself 
upon $(prefix) ... also, the search path is hardcoded in tuxtype/theme.c 
instead of utilizing a buildtime definition from configure

since the default datadir is $prefix/share, switching over to use that should 
be pretty painless ... the configure file could also do some AC_DEFINE magic 
to setup like BUILD_DATADIR in config.h which tuxtype/theme.c would add to 
its default search path
