Well, adding a definition of the $(datarootdir) variable like this:
datarootdir = @datadir@
datadir = $(datarootdir)
should not require any updates for tools and can then be converted to the
final form of:
datarootdir = @datarootdir@
datadir = @datadir@
for Makefile.in or removed altogether for Makefile.am files once the tools
have been updated. At least it seems to work on my system. :-)
