configure, funny directories ??

I just pulled down the main cvs and ran configure, it seems (to me) to make
a Makefile that will place the samba stuff in the wrong dir. Thus :

prefix=/usr/local
exec_prefix=${prefix}
mandir=${prefix}/man
INSTALL_BIN=$(exec_prefix)/bin
INSTALL_MAN=$(prefix)/man
.....
BASEDIR=/usr/local
BINDIR = ${exec_prefix}/bin
SBINDIR = ${exec_prefix}/sbin
LIBDIR = ${exec_prefix}/lib
VARDIR = $(BASEDIR)/var
MANDIR = ${prefix}/man

Makefile.in has  BASEDIR=@prefix@ not BASEDIR=@prefix@/samba  !!

A decision has not been made to put binaries in  /usr/local/bin and so on
has it ?? If so, I don't like it, I prefer the traditional
/usr/local/samba/bin with all the other samba stuff under ~/samba .

Or is this a configure problem (hope so) !
