You are correct here.

I think you're correct that we need to at least put the prefix in front
of DOCSDIR, and EXAMPLESDIR should follow DOCSDIR, so as not to confuse the
hell out of people, since both those directories are intended for use by
*people*, not programs.

So do I. I think leaving DATADIR alone is probably a good idea.
