Comment:

 Mark, DESTDIR only sort of works. I tried (with 1.4.1):

 $ PATH=/usr/lib/postgresql/8.2/bin:/export/scratch/reid/geos/bin:$PATH
 ./configure --prefix=/export/scratch/reid/postgis-1.4/ --with-
 geos=/export/scratch/reid/geos/bin/geos-config --with-
 pgsql=/usr/lib/postgresql/8.2/bin/pg_config
 DESTDIR=/export/scratch/reid/postgis-1.4

 $ make DESTDIR=/export/scratch/reid/postgis-1.4

 $ make install DESTDIR=/export/scratch/reid/postgis-1.4

 The install indeed writes to /export/scratch/reid/postgis-1.4, but it then
 also includes a bunch of unwanted additional directories below that. I
 haven't yet tested it, but I assume I can clean up the junk with some
 additional scripting.

 Is the situation any different in 1.5? I didn't see anything in the
 release notes.

 Can you please reopen this bug and boost the priority? This is non-
 standard configure behavior, and a regression.
