I just did. Not being embedded.
IMHO, never should be. I do a lot of clustering and NFS mounts.
Embedding locations in files makes that much harder.

I agree to not do DESTDIR, but IMHO PREFIX is also a no go.

Maybe as a non-default option. But his would totally hose
being able to move binaries around.

But makes it hard for a distro packager to install and test in DESTDIR
before packaing up the binaries. Plus, for a distro, not neet for
PYTHONDIR override as the result will be in /usr and be normally
accessible.
