Subject: libtraceevent installing in wrong folder

Hi Steve,

I tried to install libtraceevent. and I used the command:
"make DESTDIR=/home/sudip/test prefix=/usr install" from tool/lib/traceevent

And this is what I get:
sudip@...ian:~/test$ pwd
/home/sudip/test

sudip@...ian:~/test$ find .
.
./usr
./usr/local
./usr/local/lib
./usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
./usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig
./usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libtraceevent.pc

./home/sudip/test/usr/include/traceevent/trace-seq.h
./home/sudip/test/usr/include/traceevent/kbuffer.h
./home/sudip/test/usr/include/traceevent/event-utils.h

I am seeing two problems:
1) It created another home/sudip/test folder inside /home/sudip/test and
the header files are installed in /home/sudip/test/home/sudip/test/usr/include folder.
They should have been in /home/sudip/test/usr/include.

2) I used prefix=/usr but the 'pkgconfig' still went to /usr/local

Did I do something wrong?
