Details:

If I don't define a prefix for sourceinstall and ran it as root, it will
assume something like prefix=/

I'd like that instead, sourceinstall used the default prefix from te source.
For example, if I install Samba, it will be installed in /usr/local/samba.
But if sourceinstall has prefix=/usr/local, is installs Samba in
/usr/local... Of course I can change the prefix in Preferences but it would
be easier if I keep prefix value empty  and use the default prefix from the
source I'm installing.

Thanks.

Ps: other solution would be if I could just define an specific prefix for
Samba in the sourceinstall-gtk interface. It could be when sourceinstall-gtk
asks what configure options I'd like. It could have a --prefix option so I
could supersede the default prefix in Preferences.
