 Working on updating RubyInstaller packages to recently released patchlevel 383, found that my patching strategies over rbconfig no longer works.
 
 On previous patchlevel (368), I configure ruby with my sandbox path, and once installed, gsub it from rbconfig, leaving this:
 
 CONFIG["prefix"] = (TOPDIR || DESTDIR + "")
 
 Where my path was inside "".
 
 Since TOPDIR refers to rbconfig.rb itself (but with stripped path), prefix end being always the path where Ruby ends installed/copied.
 
 DESTDIR ends not being used for the prefix, and it's value turns to be "C:"
 
 Now, bear with me for a second, on p368:
 
 CONFIG["libdir"] = "$(exec_prefix)/lib"
 CONFIG["exec_prefix"] = "$(prefix)"
 
 But on p383:
 
 CONFIG["exec_prefix"] = "$(DESTDIR)"
 
 This affects installation of rubygems and packages that uses setup.rb
 
 Other places that uses $(DESTDIR) instead of previous values:
 
 CONFIG["sitedir"] = "$(DESTDIR)/lib/ruby/site_ruby"
 
 Wonder why the change, if DESTDIR was not used during make, why remove the usage of prefix on this case?
 
 Thank you.
