For users:
- Module activation can now be controlled during configure with `--enable-modules` option.
+- Almost complete refactoring of installation procedure. Now
+ DESTDIR and other standard autoconf directories (e.g. bindir) are completely supported.
+ Additionally, everything should work properly also when directory names include spaces (\issue{157}).
+ Finally, compiler is not invoked on install unless path are explicitly changed (\issue{107}).

+Notice that upon installation PLUMED might need to relink a library.
+This was always true until version 2.1, but in version 2.2 libraries should

the issue.

+Upon install, executables are copied to $prefix/bin, libraries to $prefix/lib,
+include files to $prefix/include, and
+documentation to $prefix/shared/doc/plumed. Additionally, a directory
+$prefix/lib/plumed is created containing several other files, including

+Notice also that these path can be further customized using standard autoconf

One should then set the environment properly. We suggest to do it using
the module framework (http://modules.sourceforge.net). An ad hoc generated
