Rewrite the handling of values we get from ./configure
The handling of values we get from configure needs to be rewritten to follow the normal conventions, and we should check that everything gets sane values (in particular, I'm not sure if mandir does currently). This was discussed in these messages and their replies: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2007-September/038407.html http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2007-September/038418.html
We should also only do this in a single file which is shared between normal builds and bindists, rather than doing it in both mk/config.mk.in and distrib/Makefile-bin-vars.in.
