Another way is to let configure do the difficult things like finding out 
which distribution is used or which prefix should be used. This shouldn't be 
difficult with it. Then these values are set while processing 
bibletime.spec.in which is processed anyway.
Is this ok?
If it's, I'll do the configure stuff.
