Having to provide non-default options mightconfiuse people too!

I think every other autoconf application I've installed either gets the
paths right by default without having to provide anything on the
configure command line or produces a working installation with the
defaults.   IMHO the avahi autoconf is borked if it can produce none
working installations !
