Missing configure flag for dir naming (/etc/ctags, /usr/share/ctags, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ctags)

[viccuad]

I have looked at configure --help but I can't seem to find a flag for this.

Right now, if I install universal-ctags I get (among other things):

/etc/ctags/* (optlib, preload and corpora)
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ctags/* (optlib, preload and corpora)
/usr/share/ctags/* (optlib, preload and corpora)

It would be useful to have a configure flag for changing those ctags dirs into other string (and maybe defaulting to universal-ctags?).

That would enable universal-ctags to be installed in parallel with other ctags projects, without the possibility of collisions in those directories.

For discussion, quick-hacked branch created.
p-montanus/ctags@cb2ab83 (includes #579 changes)
p-montanus/ctags@2608055
p-montanus/ctags@b7dd6bb
p-montanus/ctags@7f26184

Add options to configure:

--with-ctags-datadir=[DATADIR/ctags]
--with-ctags-sysconfdir=[SYSCONFDIR/ctags]
--with-ctags-libexecdir=[LIBEXECDIR/ctags]

--without-ctags-datadir is equiv. to --with-ctags-datadir=DATADIR,
--without-ctags-sysconfdir is equiv. to --with-ctags-sysconfdir=SYSCONFDIR, and
--without-ctags-libexecdir is equiv. to --with-ctags-libexecdir=LIBEXECDIR.

@p-montanus, the changes of #579 was merged.

[p-montanus]

Thank you for merging #579.
rebased.

@viccuad, the names of directories are not sutable.
See #92. Is it o.k.? I want to stablize it but I cannot find time to do it because there are so many critical issues.

[masatake]

@p-montanus, why do you say "quick-hacked" about your branch?

[p-montanus]

why do you say "quick-hacked" about your branch?

Due to not well testing at that moment, and not thinking carefully about option names.

[masatake]

Oh, I see. You can utilize misc/tinst script for install testing.

Thank you for letting me know.
make tinst passed.

revised: p-montanus/ctags@7f26184.
configure options are renamed from --with-pkg*dir to --with-ctags-*dir, and handle --without-* cases.

If no exception to this specification in a half day, I will create a pull request.
