There is one more problem with this. If you call:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/<dir>
sysconfdir and git_etcdir are set to /etc not /<dir>. I admit that it is
a rather unusual set of options ./configure, but maybe it should be
supported. So maybe I will first describe how it should all work in my
opinion and I will wait for comments before I will try to implement it.
1. ./configure --prefix=dir1 and dir1 != /usr
git_etcdir = etc
2. ./configure --prefix=/usr
git_etcdir = /etc
3. ./configure --prefix=dir1 --syscondir=dir2 (here dir2 has to be an
absolute path)
git_etcdir = dir2
4. make prefix=dir1 and dir1 != /usr
git_etcdir = etc
5. make prefix=/usr
git_etcdir = /etc
6. make prefix=dir1 sysconfdir=dir2 (here dir2 can be an absolute or
a relative path)
git_etcdir = dir2
