[gambit-list] Gambit installer

I would like to see an option at configure stage to remove the  
version from the path, in order to honor the --prefix= path I set  
before compile. It is tiresome to edit PATH variables in .cshrc every  
time Gambit's version changes.

Note I am requesting this as something we would explicitly pass at  
configure, the default would remain as is. I understand the logic and  
reasoning for current pathnames. However, it would be nice for those  
of us used to conventional bsd filesystem layouts to have Gambit  
install in expected directories. I'm no expert in makefiles, but it  
shouldn't be more than a conditional statement to include  
PACKAGE_SUBDIR or not, no?
