In Windows you should not need to use "make install" at all. The code
currently loads .dat files either from

a) the directory specified in CF_DATADIR environment variable
b) the directory that holds windummy.dll (determined at runtime)

INSTALL_PREFIX is ignored in Windows.

a is mainly for debugging while b is what should be used for every day work.

The idea is to create a standalone windows installer that holds all
the files and installs them to some directory. At this point Cuneiform
will just work, no matter where it is called from.
