exactly, that is why configure.in was using `oaf-config --datadir`, since this
is very important. If not installed in the correct place, OAF won't find
the components.

So, how could we solve this to use `oaf-config...` for source
installation and $datadir/oaf for packages?
My first try was to use "GNOMEDB_oafdir=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{prefix}" in the
make call in the spec file, but this did not seem to work
