You don't want "make install" to produce a tree with some files in the new locations and some in the old. New makefile variables need adding everywhere. Automake needs upgrading to 1.10 at the same time. A number of local configure options (--with-datarootdir --with-docdir --with-htmldir) need removing everywhere since new autoconf has standard replacements for them. The documentation needs updating to remove those options and reflect the standard replacements. The local install-html support in automake-using directories (which those configure options are present to support) needs removing when upgrading to new automake with built-in install-html support. -- Joseph S.
