Improve usage of variables for install paths, rather than for example gluing together
$(PREFIX)+/shareat runtime.Allows overriding by package builders (e.g.
make install MANDIR=/usr/man).Introduces makefile variables:
BINDIR(defaults to/usr/local/bin)DATADIR(defaults to/usr/local/share)MANDIR(defaults to/usr/local/share/man)MAN1DIR(defaults to/usr/local/share/man/man1)This has the advantage of behaving the same as before, if you weren't specifying those variables.
