Yikes, you're right. Scratch my suggestion then; the issue should
probably be brought up on the autoconf mailing list. Albeit I think
it is by design that autoconf doesn't let a package to override the
defaults for installation directory: this way, the end users can
expect consistent, well-documented defaults for all autoconf-based
packages.
