Hey

Ok here's what I do...
Here's what my configure.in looks like (the part which of interest)

dnl Set PACKAGE_GLADE_DIR in config.h
if test "x${prefix}" = "xNONE"; then
  AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(PACKAGE_GLADE_DIR, "${ac_default_prefix}/${DATADIRNAME}/${PACKAGE}/glade")
else
  AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(PACKAGE_GLADE_DIR, "${prefix}/${DATADIRNAME}/${PACKAGE}/glade")
fi

HTH

P.S. You could add another "if" to check if "~/" has been specified and
so use $HOME. hmm, maybe I should add that too.
