That would be a suitable place, I guess.

Interesting. I thought at least ADONTHELL_MODULES_PATH would be
required. But then again, you do install it and the "hardcoded" path
will point to the proper prefix. And it appears all the shared
libraries also have the proper rpath set. That's not so bad!

Actually, I assume it might even be possible to set the proper python
path from within the code itself, so that everything will work as long
as everything gets installed properly, regardless of the prefix. We do
it already for the scripts inside the data directory, so why not for
the actual python wrappers as well? See src/main/adonthell.cc:97

Yes, sounds good.

Can't say much there. The way I have set it up, Eclipse just runs the
same make target(s) I'd use when building from the command line. So
the errors and warnings are the same. Wonder why it's different in
your case. Might have something to do with the plugin you use?
