Change default installation prefix to /usr/local #34

Closed krichter722 closed 8 years ago

since it messes up binaries installed by package management (e.g. on Debian based systems). Either the prefix should be /usr/local or - even better - configurable.

Consider switching to autoconf which might seem overkill, but avoids creating a configure script now which later will be replaced by autoconf anyway or always consume maintenance costs.

When switching to autoconf #23 has to be reviewed.

Rewritten Makefile (#23) will have /usr/local as default PREFIX, which will be obviously alterable (make install PREFIX=/usr etc.).

I'm against autohell, though. So sorry, but as long as I'm metastore maintainer, autoconf won't be used in metastore.
