If you just use prefix it uses the defaults and you can't split it. However,
you can have a more fine grained control by specifying libdir localstatedir
etc. I've attached a patch that will allow you to do this. It's a little bit of
a kludge but it works. If you don't specify anything it works as before. This
patch also fixes a few typos that prevent even modifying pcp.conf.in from
working correctly (hard coded paths and pulling the wrong config var)
Personally I think the old directory structure could just go away. I didn't
like it in the Irix day and it's even worse in a gnu environment.
On another note anyone know if there are any hardware monitoring pmdas? I'm
looking to be able to detect when things like disk, memory, cpus etc go bad.
