This is bad advice!

The software will get installed in places that will get burned down in 
the usual Carbon method to install: drag the new over the old.

prefix, LISPDIR, and INFODIR should point towards /Library/Application\ 
Support/Emacs or towards ~/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs to make 
the installation persistent over a Carbon update. /Library/Application\ 
Support/Emacs is meant for system-wide extensions, 
~/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs is ready for private additions. 
INFODIR is something special and I'd put INFO files into 
/usr/local/info or /usr/local/share/info with 'sudo make install'.
