No, --prefix is not supported because make install
is not supported. The primary reason is that we always felt that to do
useful programming you need to debug into the library source files (e.g.
to see where an exception was coming from) and if you need the source
files around there's not much point in installing the libraries to some
other location. I'm actually curious to hear what others have to say about
this (e.g. whether it makes sense to install stuf and why).
The two options that are nice:
1) a sysadmin install, available to all users (typically under /usr/local)
2) a non sysadmin install, completely in that users directory tree
I think both are possible.
