I'm not sure if there was some specific reason not to use it initally, or if it even _was_ used initially, and then removed for some specific reason. However, one potentially complicating factor for using it is the trailing "pike" in the current default. If you specify an --includedir explicitly, would you still want "/pike" to be appended?
no, the layout i want to create is $prefix/include/pike/version and $prefix/lib/pike/version
setting include_prefix = $(prefix)/include/pike would mean the default is moved from being set in install.pike to being set in src/Makefile.
--new-style should be unaffected by it, except that install.pike in line 2110 is: include_prefix=vars->include_prefix||combine_path(prefix,"include","pike"); which is rather odd. i guess this should be removed. (vars->include_prefix currently is always false anyways)
