The paths for prefix, bindir, libdir, mandir and dlldir don't have a
slash between the $(buildroot) and %(_somethingelse) parts, while the
includedir and datadir do.
Could you check which one is the right way to go? (Or if it doesn't
change anything?)

Else, from an old (20020614) install log that I had laying around, you
seem to have covered all the necessary directories. In addition to what
I already said, you can also define exec_prefix (default is same thing
as prefix), infodir ($(prefix)/info) and sysconfdir ($(prefix)/etc).

Question regarding the installation process: in the Makefiles, all the
directories (except prefix) are defined wrt prefix. Shouldn't setting
prefix at installation time should be enough then?

Answer: yes, setting only prefix= at installation time works (at least
with the 20020614 source I had), and all the other directories under it
are created correctly. Maybe something changed since then in the
installation process.
