           Summary: Bad PREFIX example
          Severity: feature
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: almk277 at gmail.com
          Hardware: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 2.7.2
         Component: Mercurial
           Product: Mercurial

There is an example in the root Makefile about PREFIX:

# % make PREFIX=/opt/ install

This is unworkable (as it violates FHS). One could think that make will create
is's own directory in opt, but it doesn't (and pollutes /opt). A bit clearer
example could be, for example:

# % make PREFIX=/opt/mercurial install
