 Actually, it makes sense to me to install it completely in / instead of /usr -
that would also remove the need to have all the --libdir etc. options that we
currently pass. The way it's currently done, eudev's install anyway adds
symlinks back from /lib/libudev.so to /usr/lib/libudev.so.

 Of course, includes and pkgconfig still have to be put in /usr.
