This works like for any other autoconf/automake package. If you want to
override the GNU defaults use --sysconfdir= for example.

If you are a developer, and now what you do the best way to build and
install systemd is via "./autogen.sh c && make -j8 && sudo make
install". However, do understand that this voids your warranty because
it will install systemd into /usr which is package manager territory.
