14 really?
15 then why in econf the ./configure stuff is done with absolute path?
16 if you pass to EXTRA_CONF --mandire for example then you'll have
17 ./configure --mandir /usr/share/man --mandir USER_SUPPLIED_PATH
18 what will happen?
19
20 anyway I think it's cleaner to keep E_INFODIR, E_LOCALSTATEDIR,
21 E_MANDIR, E_SYSCONFDIR, E_DATADIR separated from EXTRA_CONF
