Attached is a patch to implement autoconf compatible installation path options. Keep in mind that this more or less just implements the options. While all option values are stored in Parrot::Config only a few of the values are currently used in the build process (prefix, libdir, etc.). I'd like to get back several reports that this patch works OK for people and actually resolves their installation issues before applying it (please, nobody get trigger happy). I suspect changes to root.in and the install script will be necessary to make everyone happy. The new options will also need to be documented in Configure.pl Cheers, -J --
