How do you suggest we setup this?  Will this be invoked always before
calling gnome_init*?

Probably we want two things:

	 1. An Autoconf/Automake macro that will define GNOME_datadir,
            GNOME_libdir, etc macros for C programs during
            compilation.

	 2. A C macro that would look like this:

	    gnome_set_app_prefixes ();

	    That would use the defintions listed above
