Ok, so "*mingw" have INSTALL_TARGET=flatinstall, which mashes bindir,
libdir, includedir and ecldir together into $(prefix),
/but this fact only surfaces during installation/!

Which obviously breaks for code built with default *dir's.

The preconditions for flatinstallation are set into motion within
aclocal.m4.  Now, there is no way to enforce the above equality
constraint between these variables in aclocal.m4, and so /it seems/ we
should enforce it somewhere down below the substitution chain, upon
detection of the impending flatinstall...
