[Cbc] cbc configure --prefix= option install for RPM inclusion

[Ted Ralphs]

This error is due to a custom m4 function used by the COIN build system
that assumes the existence of the prefix directory. It look like it's not
really crucial that the directory exist for anything that comes later---we
just made the implicit assumption that it does and no one complained before
now. I'll see if we can fix this easily.

Cheers,

Ted
