I don't think so, see separate message.

That's a completely different issue, because the files obtained that way
are necessarily fixed for a given installation (unless you are *very*
crafty). Peeking at the GNU/Autoconf recommendations, the files in
question should be installed into PREFIX/share by default and that default
noted inside the using program (initdb), with overriding possible. Of
course the name of the corresponding configure option --datadir isn't
going to make our life easier vis a vis the first issue above, but it's
still the way to go somehow.
