This is part of the "Filesystem Hierarchy Standard" (FHS) - /usr is
supposed to be able to be read-only, so programs mustn't expect to
write on it by default. /var is the home of common writeable stuff.
Yes, there should be a configure option to control this, but autoconf
apparently needs to be updated to handle correctly.

Could you send me a copy of the makefile please? I tried this
configure (but with /tmp instead instead of /keir/apps) and got
no complaints from the install.
