I changed this because I found certain cases where the substitution
would not happen, and the '${prefix}' would end up as-is in a generated
source file, which is obviously undesirable. And with the X11 move into
/usr, I didn't foresee much need for prefix != /usr anyway.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll look at it once 2.60 is in the distro.

I don't see any reference to charset.alias in g-b-s HEAD, and AFAIK it
belongs to gettext, not info. The only time I've needed to remove it
was with glib2, which contains a gettext-based i18n API.
