The configure script supplied with mozilla-source-0.9.4.tar overrides
any supplied --prefix directive.  When configuring using:
    ./configure --quiet --prefix=/usr/local/mozilla
one of the last lines printed is:
    running /bin/sh ./configure  --quiet --prefix=/usr/local/mozilla
--prefix=/usr/local/src/mozilla/dist --cache-file=../../.././config.cache --srcdir=.
And sure enough, after running "make; make install", mozilla seems to get
installed in the mozilla/dist directory rather than in /usr/local/mozilla as
I've requested.

How is this a duplicate of bug 56601? from the patches there it appears that's a
win32 make system change while this is clearly a Unix config issue.

The win32 changes in bug 56601 were only for the sake of keeping the unix &
win32 build systems fairly similar.  Outside of the conformity issue, these are
primarily unix build bugs.
