Akim, I think the default for docdir should be the same expression
across all packages. Can you document, in autoconf, that the one who
runs a configure script can set the variables
docdir [default: $(datadir)/doc/@address@hidden
and
localedir [default: $(datadir)/locale]
or similarly with $(datarootdir) instead of $(datadir), when RMS's
current proposal becomes official? This should ideally be part of the
"./configure --help" output.
