How about this?  I took into account Ralf's comments as well.

   In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
   options like @address@hidden to specify different
   values for particular kinds of files.  Run @samp{configure --help}
   for a list of the directories you can set and what kinds of files
   go in them.  In general, the default for these options is expressed
   in terms of @address@hidden@}}, so that specifying just
   @option{--prefix} will affect all of the other directory
   specifications.
   
   If you wish to install the package into a staging directory
   (e.g. for packaging or testing purposes) then you can set the
   DESTDIR variable, @samp{make address@hidden install}.
