Yep. IIRC the _expanded variables were introduced for the purpose of
using them in lisp code where ${prefix} and suchlike does not make
sense. With the new AC_LISPIFY_DIR (that I think would correctly
expand those), we can get rid of the _expanded variables.

Only one of the variables (lispdir_expanded) is used in Makefile
(masked as auctexdir), and even that wasn't the case until three days
ago. The shell syntax can be used there, so I think we can go back to
using plain, unexpanded variables in Makefile.

The only other place the _expanded variables are used are in
tex-site.el, which is handled by the new code. Getting rid of them
would take quite a few lines off our autoconf macros.
