I wouldn't be opposed to making such a change on the Unix side as well,
although admittedly $prefix/../site-list doesn't sound like a good idea
when $prefix is /usr/local or /usr.

We should advertise it (I presume you mean the use
of --enable-locallisppath=PATH) at least as loudly as the "default
$prefix is probably not good for you".
