The top-level Makefile.in defines datadir, confidir, sbindir, prefix,
and exec_prefix. The configure.in initializes these based on the
value of prefix. It should, instead, initialize them to include the
string "$(prefix)" in the makefile. With the current situation, you
can ./configure --prefix=/something/else, but you can't say make
install prefix=/something/else since the "/usr/local/" ends up
hardcoded in the automatically generated Makefile. I have not
enclosed a patch since this should be a trivial fix. However, if I
decide to do this and edit things, I will send you the results.
