This all seems to mitigate towards a standard --with/--enable
type of mechanism: --mumble-dir=xxx for example.
Since I am guessing we are talking autoconf here,
I've added that list to the CC line. A likely
autoconf support macro might be:
AC_INSTALL_DIR( data, [[${prefix}/share]] )
AC_INSTALL_DIR( mumble, [[${datadir}/mumble]] )
which would set the default, add it to the appropriate
command line processing code and insert some usage stuff.
