21.5.28: problems with --prefix

This may be a somewhat convoluted problem with quite a few moving
pieces (patches, other *dir configure options etc) here and there,
but let's try the simplified version first in case it rings a bell:
When configuring 21.5.28 with --prefix=/usr, the etc and lisp dirs
end up installed in /usr/share/xemacs-21.5-b28/{etc,lisp}, but the
resulting xemacs binary tries to look for them from
/usr/{etc,lisp}. --with-prefix=no doesn't appear to have any
effect on this. 21.5.27 did not have this problem, and no options
or patches I use have changed in a way that they should cause this.
A quick workaround was to use --prefix=/usr/share/xemacs-21.5-b28
I wonder if this might have something to do with it.

* configure.ac (XE_EXPAND_VARIABLE): Fully expand the various
directories before comparing them for figuring out which of them
are user-defined. Use XE_EPXAND_VARIABLE macro created for this
purpose where applicable.
There have been other changes to the pathfinding code, but this patch
touchs an area where things are known to be dicy.
