   I do to. There is one small annoying thing I would like to see
   changed though.. And that is that Gnu programs that install things
   in the "${prefix}/lib" directory should split that up into two
   different directories "${prefix}/lib" for architecture-dependant
   things and "${prefix}/var" (or etc or whatever) for things that are
   non-arch-dependant..

Already done.  The new variable is called ${exec_prefix}.
