Default prefix is "/usr/local". pcb will install its binary into
/usr/local/bin and the libs into /usr/local/lib.
By default, these locations are searched first on Ubuntu, Debian and about 
every decent linux distro. A simple call of pcb will start the version in 
/usr/local/bin/pcb . If you'd prefer the distros version, you can call it 
with /usr/bin/pcb . So there is no need to edit the prefix variable.

I have three versions of pcb installed on my desktops and use them as
needed without any interference:

1) from distro
2) from the current git head
3) the GL enabled version by Peter Clifton, before_pours branch.
