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.
