Comment (by mcayland):

 I'm not convinced that this is necessarily a bug; the new version of
 configure has NO knowledge of any of the installation paths since this is
 handled entirely by PGXS, and for a good reason. The location of the sql
 files in particular has tended to change from version to version.

 There may be an argument for extending PGXS so that --prefix specifies a
 new root directory rather than an a prefix (which is perhaps what Kevin
 was expecting to see?). But if you're interested in this as a feature,
 you'd need to chase it up with the PGSQL folks.


 ATB,

 Mark.
