In the source install, there does not appear to be any way
to have "make install" obey an INSTALL_ROOT or PREFIX,
so that Aethera can be installed into some location besides
/usr/local or whatever. This is very undesirable :)

The only way to do this appears to be modifying all of the
.pro's to replace /usr/local with whatever you want your
prefix to be, and then make INSTALL_ROOT=new-place
install. Then AETHERA_DIR in defines.pri....

This is all very, very clumsy. Is there a proper way to root
the installation somewhere specific?
