    WMP>   so you could just do:

    WMP> ./configure --site-prefix=/usr/local

    WMP> And get the equivalent of:

    WMP> ./configure --site-includes=/usr/local/include \
    WMP>             --site-libraries=/usr/local/lib    \
    WMP>             --site-runtime-libraries=/usr/local/lib

Not a bad idea, but of course you have to add a --site-exec-prefix too
for those of us that split platform sharable stuff (e.g. includes) and
platform dependent stuff (e.g. libs).
