Summary: prefix dir gets hard coded into install

Initial Comment:
The --prefix=/xxxx that gets specified in the
config/compile gets hard-coded into the installed
binaries. This is bad. It does not work when you use
an automounter to share apps.

[183] % curl

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library:
/appl/b/appl/HP-UXB.11.00/curl-7.8/lib/libcurl.sl.2

/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
IOT trap (core dumped)

The binary should be looking in a path that is relative
to the location of the application--instead of the
installation path.

In our case, the install location is
/appl/a/appl/[arch]/app-version

and the location it gets used from is
/apps/app-version.

Almost all other packages I have installed work in this
fashion without problems. Basically if the curl tree
gets moved it breaks--which means I would have to
recompile it each time.
