Well, you could hack the Makefile.am or Makefile.in to install the conf files to
${DESTDIR}/${datadir} , or you could possibly try the following:
./configure (stuff) --datadir='${DESTDIR}/etc/X11'
Although, if the app itself uses the value of datadir (which is BAD, imo) this
approach wouldn't be the best.
