Ok, I am coming up with a new twist. Careful view of text ("tee" is a
wonderful tool), I discovered it is installing to
/include/xercesc/....in other words, it is creating "include" in the
root of the entire filesystem. I have the changes to add single quotes
for prefix_include, so instead of going to "NONE" it is now calling it
an empty string, and then it is directly appending "/include/xercesc" to
that. More testing later, but it very much appears that
ac_default_prefix is completely ignored.
