I didn't like putting prefix and suffix in InstallDirs either.  I was just following the path of least resistance!  I'll look into moving them out of there.

 * Fix a bug where the destdir prefix got included in the prog prefix and suffix
 Previously all members of InstallDirs were paths so it was safe to prefix
 them all with the destdir, but now we've also got these two non-paths, so
 we have to not apply the prefix to them. Perhaps the program prefix and suffix
 should just be PathTemplates on their own and not part of InstallDirs.
