distutils -- install_data in alternate --prefix

[Jp Calderone]

  In Pynfo, I have need to distribute several files that do not end with .py
to a subdirectory of the appropriate site-packages directory.  With the
following 

    data_files = [
        (data_prefix, 
         [os.path.join('Pynfo', 'plugins.tml')]),
        (os.path.join(data_prefix, 'plugins'),
         [os.path.join('Pynfo', 'plugins', 'plugins.tml')])
    ]

passed to distutil's setup(), and data_prefix defined as

data_prefix = os.path.join(
    sysconfig.get_config_var('BINLIBDEST'), 'site-packages', 'Pynfo'
)

I can achieve this.  However, when --prefix is passed to 'setup.py install',
distutils still tries to install these files in the normal location.

  Is there another config var to use, or a workaround for this?

  Thanks in advance,
    Jp
