Assuming we do:

PETSC_DIR/petscconf --> move to --> PREFIX_DIR/lib/petscconf 

[and all references to PETSC_DIR is replaced by the correct paths in
the installed makefiles], the following inlcude statement from
usermakefile should continue towork - provided PETSC_DIR is changed to
'prefix/lib' instead of 'prefix'. [its a bit ugly though]

include PETSC_DIR/petscconf/base
