    configure: use a platform-neutral prefix · d17f305a
    Paolo Bonzini authored
    
    Now that the installation is relocatable, there is no need to compile a
    Windows-format prefix into Win32 binaries.  Instead, the prefix will
    only be used to compute installation-relative paths, and it can be
    any string.
    
    Drop the "Program Files" path completely: it is only usable on English
    versions of Windows; therefore, using the NSIS installer to get the
    "correct" path to the Program Files folder is recommended, and NSIS
    works just as well with any prefix.
