@item prefix
A prefix used in constructing the default values of the variables listed
below. The default value of @code{prefix} should be @file{/usr/local}
(at least for now).
@item exec_prefix
A prefix used in constructing the default values of the some of the
variables listed below. The default value of @code{exec_prefix} should
be @code{$(prefix)}.
Generally, @code{$(exec_prefix)} is used for directories that contain
machine-specific files (such as executables and subroutine libraries),
while @code{$(prefix)} is used directly for other directories.
@item bindir
The directory for installing executable programs that users can run.
This should normally be @file{/usr/local/bin}, but it should be based on
the value of @code{$(prefix)}.
This should normally be @file{/usr/local/bin}, but it should be written
as @file{$(exec_prefix)/bin}.
@item libdir
The directory for installing executable files to be run by the program
rather than by users. Object files and libraries of object code should
also go in this directory. The idea is that this directory is used for
files that pertain to a specific machine architecture, but need not be
in the path for commands. The value of @code{libdir} should normally be
@file{/usr/local/lib}, but it should be written as
@file{$(exec_prefix)/lib}.
@item datadir
The directory for installing read-only data files which the programs
refer to while they run. This directory is used for files which are
independent of the type of machine being used. This should normally be
@file{/usr/local/lib}, but it should be based on the value of
@code{$(prefix)}.

@item statedir
The directory for installing data files which the programs modify while
they run. These files should be independent of the type of machine
being used, and it should be possible to share them among machines at a
network installation. This should normally be @file{/usr/local/lib},
but it should be based on the value of @code{$(prefix)}.

Include in your distribution a copy of the @file{texinfo.tex} you used
to test print any @file{*.texinfo} files.
Likewise, if your program uses small GNU software packages like regex,
getopt, obstack, or termcap, include them in the distribution file.
Leaving them out would make the distribution file a little smaller at
the expense of possible inconvenience to a user who doesn't know what
other files to get.
