I've backed those changes out.  (There are no references to datafiledir 
in the autoconf documentation, so it's purely our invention; autoconf 
doesn't define it, and imposes no direct restrictions on its definition 
or use.)

There might be a reason why setting DATAFILE_DIR to $(datafiledir) in 
CPPFLAGS rather than in config.h needs to be done, but that's separate 
from setting datafiledir in the first place, and if that needs to be 
done, that should be done with a separate patch.
