Even though we do not use them, the GNU Coding Standards expect configure
to accept the following installation directory options as well:
--libexecdir=PREFIX/libexec Program executables directory
--sysconfdir=PREFIX/etc System configuration directory
--sharedstatedir=PREFIX/com Arch-independent data directory
--localstatedir=PREFIX/var Runtime system data directory
--runstatedir=PREFIX/var/run Per-process data directory
--oldincludedir=PREFIX/include #include directory (non-gcc)
--infodir=DATADIR/info Info documentation directory
--localedir=DATADIR/locale locale specific data directory
--htmldir=DOCDIR Html documentation directory
--pdfdir=DOCDIR PDF documentation directory
--psdir=DOCDIR PS documentation directory
This patch also redefines some of the make variables in terms of one
another now that a larger set is supported.

Nice!!! (I presume the tabs are actually aligned, but thrown off by
diff and quoting prefixes.)
