not install data directly in $(datadir), but rather do so in a
subdirectory, because the definition of $(datadir) is the same
for all projects.
I would like this too, specially when you consider the "configure
--datadir=FOO" and "make datadir=FOO install" scenarios.
Karl, could you forward the relevant bits (I could make a summary if
you are swamped with other stuff) to RMS with this patch?
(Maybe the wording should be stronger)
