Even I don't know where he have found his installation guide,
it is certain that lispdir in Makefile remains
  /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex
even if we set --prefix=$HOME.

--with-lispdir=$HOME/share/emacs/site-lisp is needed to
install *.el files for local installation.
Our installation guide does not say that in
`Installation for non-privileged users' section.

Why --prefix does not change lispdir?
# If we have already discussed this, forgive me,
# but then we should write the reason in our documentaiton.
