If I understand correctly, we intend that leaving 'prefix' blank should 
work normally, but allow it to be overridden if the user so desires. 

Is that correct?  If so, I will adjust.  However, I'm not sure why we 
need to override prefix in the .pc file 
(--defined-variable=prefix=...).  If prefix is not set, this leads to an 
error.

    PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config vsipl++-ser-builtin-32
    --define-variable=prefix= --cflags
    --define-variable argument does not have a value for the variable
    make: *** [vars] Error 1


Would it be correct to leave that out since the .pc files already have 
the correct value for prefix?   I am assuming an install from a binary 
package.  In what case would we need to override 'prefix'?
