Actually, it's a change of the GNU Coding Standard.
Makefile.in authors must define `datarootdir = @datarootdir@'
when using Autoconf, because this variable is now a base
directory for many other variables.
Bruno> There are lots of hand-built Makefile.in.
Those people will have to update their Makefile.in when
upgrading Autoconf. I agree it's unfortunate, but I can't think
of any other solution. (Ignoring the GCS isn't really a
solution.)
Bruno> You can not assume that everyone is using automake.
Unfortunately :) People who write their own Makefile.ins have to
follows the GCS evolution by themselves. But hey, they chose
this way.

Yep :( This lacks a datarootdir definition, and the definition
of docdir, dvidir, psdir, pdfdir, and htmldir will also have to
be changed to @docdir@, @dvidir@, etc. as specified in the GCS.
