[avahi] Re: paths in config.h.in (autoheader)

[Sebastien Estienne]

here is a patch implementing this
and fixing AVAHI_RUNTIME_DIR
if noone has objections, i'll commit.
to sum up, it allows fully dynamic prefix:

make prefix=/home/sebest/avahi install

On a side note, has anyone objections against renaming avahi in
avahi-daemon and fixing this in init scripts ?
