That's what we want.  Did you notice the '#'?  Except that $GNC_LIBDIR
== $pkglibdir sometimes.  Might not $pkglibdir != $libdir?

I don't think so.  $prefix == NONE when no --prefix is supplied.  Of
course, we have to fix QOF_XML_DIR, too, but it might not be as simple
as just:
        QOF_XML_DIR=`eval echo ${GNC_SHAREDIR}/xml/qsf`

BTW, wouldn't it be nice if ./configure would notice when configure.in
was newer than itself and rerun autoconf.  Or at least warn.
