There are some occurences of share_prefix in install.pike and master.pike.in, but I understand those are currently only used to let master.pike find the pure Pike modules in lib/modules at build time. However, just a few changes to install.pike are needed to let it actually install those modules in a separate location, in a perhaps more FHS-compliant and Perl-like manner:
