This is the wrong forum/time to ask this question, but I've noted
similar support mentioned in other contexts here and again and never
understood the point.

It seems to me like "./configure --prefix=/tmp/my-new-mesa-package/usr
&& make && make install" would have the same effect.  What does DESTDIR
accomplish that prefix does not?

Thanks,
