Note on DESTDIR. GNU autoconf manual Section 16.4 Installation Names has the
following statement. "The second method involves providing the 'DESTDIR'
variable. For example, 'make install DESTDIR=/alternate/directory' will
prepend '/alternate/directory' before all installation names. The approach of
'DESTDIR' overrides is not required by the GNU Coding Standards, and does not
work on platforms that have drive letters. On the other hand, it does better
at avoiding recompilation issues, and works well even when some directory
options were not specified in terms of '${prefix}' at configure time."
