This is all explained in <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Defining-Directories.html> and references therein. Why directory variables are defined the way they are should be answered by the GNU Coding Standards which are two clicks away from the above link. I would really like it if remaining open questions were gathered so they could be answered comprehensively, so next time we can just point to the answer. Cheers, Ralf
