$DESTDIR is the root directory of the installation. It's normally empty.
You can set it to "/tmp/myroot" to build in a shadow directory tree.
$prefix may be "/usr/local".
The idea of using "/usr/bin/vi" is that the "normal" vi links to the vim
command you just installed, possibly as /usr/local/bin/vim.
