Comment:

 tested using SVN head (8498) of mythplugins, --prefix values are not
 consistent in the following case:

 cd mythplugins ;
 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-all ;
 make;
 <abort make here, part way through>;
 ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-all;
 make;

 At the second instantiation of make two problems occur:

 1) those items built successfully prior to the prefix change are left with
 the original prefix (presumably incorrect, as it was aborted), and should
 not be. they should be rebuilt.

 2) those following on from the prefix change are empty \"\" (ie not
 matching either prefix), and as a result will sometimes throw compilation
 error and/or unusual problems.


 Interim solution - do all over from scratch:
 make distclean; configure --enable-all --prefix=/blah ; make;

 OR, quicker as full rebuild not required....
 remove all 'Makefile's from sub-folders (not root) of build tree:
 touch Makefile ; find . -depth -name Makefile | head -1 | xargs rm ; make;
