rpm --relocate prefix1=prefix2 ... [--badreloc]

	# a non-trivial example
	rpm --relocate /usr/=$HOME/gnome/ --relocate /etc/=$HOME/.cfg/

Note that many packages won't understand the above usage!  Usually you'll 
discover this when you try the above and it complains about not being able to 
relocate; the --badreloc forces RPM to do the relocate anyway in that case, 
but you'd better expect the installed package to not work right.
