We added this especially because configure warned about it.

Ciao, Marcus

configure: datarootdir is unused, and causes a warning with newer versions of autoconf.

With Debian/amd64 unstable which has autoconf 2.59.cvs.2006.06.05-1, I get:

config.status: WARNING: tools/wmc/Makefile contains a reference to the 
variable `datarootdir' which seems to be undefined.  Please make sure it 
is defined.

Alexandre is wondering whether it might be an autoconf bug.
