Indeed, but the counter argument is that using hard-coded directory
names is a bug, just like any other.  This becomes particularly apparent
whenever such directory names get localized (as some wide spread
proprietary operating systems actually do).

IMO, I think the 'make' issue is probably a good reason to keep our
current scheme.
