(Finally back from vacation, mostly almost organized, and catching up.
Bear with me if I waste time responding to things that have already
been dealt with, but I'm going in chronological order for the most
part.)

I'll need to think about this a bit, but I think perhaps we might be
able to get rid of the perl script if we use the DESTDIR trick that
someone (I forget who ATM, sorry) mentioned that X uses.
Basically, we just need to change things so that we use
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/...
in all our scripts so that you don't need to do a
make prefix=foo install
anymore, but rather a
make DESTDIR=foo install
This decouples the --prefix=bar argument (i.e. the eventuall install
location) from the destination where you want make to put all the
files. For those who haven't been following, this is important for
people trying to package GnuCash for Debian and other distributions
(hi Tyson).
