The build step is just like "make" on Unix/Linux, meaning it just builds,
and doesn't install,  and therefore does not care about a prefix parameter.

To install, you use the "install.bat <prefix>" command -- where you specify
the directory on the commandline. That's the equivalent of the combination
of --prefix and "make install" on Unix/Linux.
