I believe that should be possible now, although in a bit weird way:
  configure --prefix=/opt --enable-fast-install [OPTIONS]
  make
  make install DESTDIR=/tmp
  $mkdir_p /opt/foo
  mv /tmp/opt/* /opt/foo
  # create symlinks ..
  ./libtool --mode=finish /opt/lib
(surely you can also use some other path below /opt as DESTDIR to avoid
another copy if /tmp is on another mount point).

Did I miss anything?

Cheers,
Ralf
