- The "setup copy" command already has --copy-prefix, and it would need additional arguments --copy-bindir, --copy-libdir etc. if bindir and friends were absoluate paths (actually, I don't know why we have --copy-prefix, when we should really have a --copy-to that is prepended to the existing prefix, that would eliminate the need for --copy-bindir etc.).
We did have that for a while, but someone objected to it: http://www.haskell.org//pipermail/cvs-libraries/2005-January/003175.html
