Lets wxStandardPaths know about the real program installation prefix on a Unix
-system. By default, the value returned by
+system. By default, the value returned by
\helpref{GetInstallPrefix}{wxstandardpathsgetinstallprefix} is used.
Although under Linux systems the program prefix may usually be determined
is set during program configuration if using GNU autotools and so it is enough
to pass its value defined in \texttt{config.h} to this function.
