Hello,
I found some installation trouble due to inconsistent
Makefiles/Makefile.in's.
You can manually work around this during the 'make install' process, but it
would be better to fix it in one of the next releases.

----------------------------------------
This datarootdir mess seems to affect many subsequent 'make install'
operations, such as creating manpage directories and probably also
@address@hidden
Manpage installation targets should use ln -sf (force) to link other names,
otherwise you can't run 'make install' twice because ln runs into an error
which exits the make process. I only discovered that because I ran
'make install' far more than two times, because of datarootdir :)
Also, but I didn't track down the root reason, (in my case)
/opt/gnubatch/lib doesn't seem to be created.
