This just encoded what a packager would presumably have done anyway.  If 
it's not going to work for Red Hat, then it's never going to work for 
Red Hat in any way without major reeingineering (such as compiling in 
the path rather than using a symlink).  If someone feels inclined to do 
that work, then we can evaluate that, but we can keep using the same 
configure option, so everything would keep working consistently.
