Actually, I thought the same until last night, when I realized that
mklang.sql is in fact being made wrong --- the ${exec_prefix} should
be expanded when the file is created, but it isn't.  (There's another
bug in it too: .so is hardwired, when it should be DLSUFFIX.)

So now I think what's really going on is that people *are* faithfully
following the install directions, but it's not working because of this
screwup.  Oops.

Fixing it is not quite as trivial as I first thought --- see related
messages in hackers list.
