OK. Will add this.

AFAIK it is the standard autoconf feature.

No. --prefix denotes the directory related to the installation root.

I think //usr/local/bin is the valid path. I'll consider removing a slash 
between
DESTDIR and the next variable though.

And this looks impossible for me as 90% of the programs I compile use
this method.
