installing to custom prefix

[alberto colombo <albx79 gmail com>]

Hello,

I'm trying to install libgee as a regular user in a custom directory
inside my home. However, no matter what --prefix I specify, `make
install` will always try to install gir files
in /usr/share/gir-1.0/Gee-0.8.gir.

Is there a special option to install gir files somewhere else? Or, can I
disable installing gir files altogether? I couldn't find a way to do
either.

thanks
alberto
