You're just not thinking hard enough. :)  Since we can alter the source, my 
suggestion would be that we add EUDIR/EUINC macros, or something, so that when
we build with them, the values given are assumed by the interpreter/etc.

So:

EUDIR=/usr/share/euphoria/
EUINC=/usr/include/euphoria/

...or wherever they end up.  We can still check the EUINC variable, of course,
so that we can still personalize the way we organize our includes.  And
we can still build a 'vanilla' version that uses the traditional, "stick
everything in home" assumptions.
