[PATCH] root user and nfs directory compilation for dbus-java

Hi,

I came across this issue when I was trying to install dbus-java. My home 
directory is on a network server, which, as root, I can not write to. 
When doing a 'make install' several files (such as the man pages) which 
were not generated by 'make' where needed and had to be generated. But 
they were being generated in the home directory, which, as root, I could 
not write to. Hence 'make install' would never install documentation.

The attached patch should fix the issue.

Thanks,
Omair
