Hm... I'm not sure I got correctly what the problem with --prefix=/ is, so I
left out that part for now, but I'm willing to help if there is anything to do.
Regarding defaults, please don't make --prefix=/ the default; use --prefix=/usr
--exec-prefix=/. The reason is very simple: /man is not in groff's search path,
/lib/pkgconfig is not in pkg-config's search path, /include is not in gcc's
search path. => Only executable files can be in /, data files are not allowed
there and must remain elsewhere: /usr or /usr/local in most cases.
Anyway, attached is a patch that adds a --disable-ldconfig option. I also
reorganized a few things in src/Makefile.am for simplicity reasons: The
symlinks can be created at any time, they don't need to be created as the last
thing, so they can be done in *-local instead of *-hook. This allows me to put
the entire *-hook target into a conditional, which is easier and more
compatible with old automake versions than having just parts of a target inside
a conditional.
Comments are welcome, I can change this if desired.
