Right, but that option is there to tell the build system where the
PostgreSQL share directory is, not for you to specify where you want
the Slony share directory - that's how the description of the
parameter reads to me at least (plus of course it falls back to
whatever pg_config says iirc):

  --with-pgsharedir=<dir>          Location of the PostgreSQL share
dir. E.g. postgresql.conf.sample

Additionally, the use case you suggested for doing this would also
require the lib dir to be altered, so I still don't see how that will
work - at least without you manually editing the SQL scripts.
