This was introduced when the scripts Makefile.am was tweaked to insert
the install prefix into various scripts.

IMHO, inserting gnu make-specific extensions into Makefile.am is not OK.  There
are some systems where "make" is not GNU make, and until this change it was
possible to build Xastir without GNU make.  (Mine is one of those systems).
