Tim Edwards bc00b5578b Implemented a new configuration variable "dist_prefix" for 
distributed installations, where the immediate installation location
is different from the final installation location, but in the case
where it is not desirable to put the entire install hierarchy as a
subdirectory of DESTDIR.

README 

This is a mini-scheme interpreter, even though the files are all named
lisp*.{c,h}.

This interpreter is *extremely* slow. I can think of lots of ways to
improve its memory usage and performance (a factor of 5 improvement
seems easy), but it is very robust and it works. :) Besides, it turns
out that the bottleneck in most common tasks is magic itself, not the
interpreter.

The memory usage of this interpreter is ridiculously high. Collect garbage
often. :) Garbage collection is done automatically based on the
variable scm-gc-frequency at the top-level . . . i.e., when you see
magic's ">" prompt. To collect garbage at intermediate points in the
computation, you have to call "collect-garbage" explicitly.
