setup --prefix=$PREFIX tries to copy doc/ to /usr/share instead of $PREFIX/share

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. python setup.py install --prefix=$HOME

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expecting install to happen with no failures.  Instead, I get this failure:
error: could not create '/usr/share/doc/python-graph-1.1.1': Permission denied

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
python-graph-1.1.1
sysname = x86-64_linux_2.6.5_ImageSLES9SP3-3

Please provide any additional information below.
This is fantastic software, btw.  I work for Intel, and I am using it to
profile and document state machines in SystemVerilog.

I have never dealt with dist-tools before, but I suspect that when you
specify --prefix, the script should copy the documents to the $PREFIX/share
area.  Otherwise you will get this kind of problem with users who don't
have root privilege.

Thank you for your comments. I'll try to fix it. I'm still fighting distutils 
to make
it do what I want. :)

I believe it's fixed in the svn repository. Could you checkout the code and 
test it
for me on your system?

subversion seems to be having a problem with my network proxy.  I will wait for 
the 
next release :).
