Specify with configure --prefix the *final* location of the installed
code: where it will be when the end-user runs it.  Divert installation
elsewhere with `make install DESTDIR=...'.  If that doesn't fit your
directory layout, that can be a problem.  Libtool unfortunately doesn't
yet cope with arbitrary install-time diversions a la `make install
prefix=...'.
