The GNU Coding Standards, and the defaults in Autoconf that result from
those standards, make --localstatedir (and all other configurable
directories) default to a path below --prefix. This is not something
that D-Bus configures; we just use it.

If you are making an OS distribution, you need a general solution for
this anyway; it affects lots of software, not just D-Bus.

If you are not making an OS distribution, I recommend getting your D-Bus
build from someone who is.
