Many times, I mistakenly used 'make prefix=... install' where prefix value was different from prefix value during build. This resulted in broken install. This patch adds auto-detection of $prefix change to the Makefile. This results in correct install whenever prefix is changed.
I do this each time I install packages from source. I keep them with "stow" and the usual sequence is: make prefix=/home/santi/usr make install prefix=/home/santi/usr/stow/git cd /home/santi/usr/stow/ stow -v git so with this auto-detection I'll compile some programs twice.
