Well, the default paths that autoconf comes up with never made much sense 
to me.  In this particular case, it seems like we would want to install 
the docs into something like ${datadir}/doc/comedilib and the usb firmware 
into ${datadir}/usb.  When configuring for a debian package, datadir would 
be set to /usr/share (or the prefix to /usr which seems mostly right 
except for the sysconfdir).
