The DESTDIR environment variable is used in the wrong way: since 30+ years
it's common practise using it for specifying *temporary* target *root*
(where eg. packaging infrastructure picks up the install image), instead
of the installation *prefix* on the final target.
Fixing this by introducing PREFIX variable (with default /usr/local) and
using both variables according to the 30 years matured common practise.
That way, distro packagers and other standardized build/installation
systems can easily do correct deployments w/o individual hacks.
changes v2: removed variables not used yet
