libqof variables in configure.in (Fwd: gentoo ebuild)

[Christian Stimming]

Hi Neil,

someone on the gnucash-de list tries to create a gentoo ebuild for 
gnucash-SVN. 

Gentoo portage tries to build and install everything in a sandbox directory. 
In his case this got an error (copy below) on installing the qsfschema_DATA 
files in lib/libqof/backend/file , because they were about to be installed in 
an absolute path instead of something below the sandbox's $prefix. I checked 
configure.in and saw the definition of the absolute path in QOF_XML_DIR. Can 
this please be changed? The change would be as below. (Side note: If it isn't 
changed, it will most probably also break things like make distcheck or 
rpmbuild.)

Regards,

Christian
