#3811: ./configure --help lists incorrect default install location

 Reporter:  chrismarx      |      Owner:  pramsey

 Priority:  low            |  Milestone:  PostGIS 2.4.0
Component:  postgis        |    Version:  trunk
 Keywords:  documentation  |
---------------------------+---------------------------
 When you run ./configure --help, it says:


 {{{
 By default, `make install' will install all the files in
 `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc.  You can specify
 an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
 for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.
 }}}

 But installing the latest 3.4dev build
 (http://postgis.net/stuff/postgis-2.4.0dev.tar.gz), the files are instead
 installed to "/usr/lib/postgresql/10/bin/"

 Not much of a problem, it's still easy enough to find out where they went,
 but they're certainly not where the documention indicates-
