I guess the list is the following:

  --mandir=3DPATH            install man pages in PATH
  --datadir=3DPATH           install firmware in PATH
  --docdir=3DPATH            install documentation in PATH
  --bindir=3DPATH            install binaries in PATH
  --sysconfdir=3DPATH        install config in PATH/qemu

http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Configuration.html says
that it should also handle the following list:

--bindir --sbindir --libexecdir --sysconfdir
--sharedstatedir --localstatedir --libdir --includedir --oldincludedir
--datarootdir --datadir --infodir --localedir --mandir --docdir
--htmldir --dvidir --pdfdir --psdir

Do we need anything of these?

Thanks.
