I don't think it was the PLTCOLLECTS definition. Instead, it was
--prefix=/home/gmarceau.

Did you mean --prefix=/home/gmarceau/plt?

Or are you objecting to the way the install process tried to modify
/home/gmarceau/bin, /home/gmarceau/collects, /home/gmarceau/include,
etc.?

The install process certainly shouldn't have tried to modify
bin/mozilla. I've fixed that.
