And not even this weirdness will be needed anymore if I am correct. The current idea of lispdir-relative settings coupled with DESTDIR should be all we need. No late expansion of shell variables anymore. It can all be done at configure time. This means, of course, that make prefix=somethingelse will _not_ work anymore, since most variables will not be prefix-relative. But I don't think this is a problem, is it? -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
