Perhaps we weren't clear enough: PCP does not use --prefix in the
configure part of the build because PCP requires multiple points of
relocation but --prefix only provides one, rendering --prefix useless.
The correct way to relocate PCP directories is to change
src/include/pcp.conf.in. If you still disagree, then you must know
something about --prefix that we are missing, so fix it and send me
a patch!
