The PREFIX specified at build time should also affect the share directory -
it shouldn't try to use /usr/share here.
Actually, the PREFIX, no matter where you specify it, is only
intended to control where files are _installed_, not where they're
looked for at runtime.

There's a good reason not to make PREFIX be used to actually
change the program's behavior: Most packaging systems use PREFIX
when building the package, to make it install into a temporary
directory which gets packaged up.
