>Description:
    No matter what you specify in --datadir argument to configure, the
    readonly arch independent data files are installed to $(prefix)/share.

>How-To-Repeat:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr --datadir=/usr/lib
    make
    make install

    # The locale specific files end up in /usr/share instead of /usr/lib

>Fix:
    # Add the following line to config.make.in, or delete the references to
    # --datadir in the INSTALL file... I prefer the first solution ;))))
    # Is there any problem with this change :???
    datadir = @datadir@
