I'm using parenthesis, because they are not expanded before put into
the Makefile.  So they refer to the Makefile variable prefix and a
later

  make prefix=/foo

changes all depending variables.

However, as usual I forgot to *quote* the strings.  This is the correct
version:

  ./configure \
    --prefix=/usr \
    --datadir='$(prefix)/share' \
    --mandir='$(prefix)/share/man' \
    --without-libiconv-prefix \
    --without-libintl-prefix
