Even better is to have the source code check for DESTDIR, and skip gconf
bits itself; e.g.:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/tree/shell/Makefile.am?h=gnome-2-28#n201

This patch is still useful though for components which don't check
DESTDIR, but again it's better to patch the relevant source code to do
so (or port to GSettings...).
