2acd8ec7a9 Change the INSTALL documentation for unified builds
Because of the unified scheme, building on different platforms is very
similar.  We currently have Unix and OpenVMS on the unified scheme,
which means that a separate INSTALL.VMS is no longer needed.

3c65577f1a Rename INSTALL_PREFIX to DESTDIR, remove option --install_prefix
INSTALL_PREFIX is a confusing name, as there's also --prefix.
Instead, tag along with the rest of the open source world and adopt
the Makefile variable DESTDIR to designate the desired staging
directory.

The Configure option --install_prefix is removed, the only way to
designate a staging directory is with the Makefile variable (this is
also implemented for VMS' descrip.mms et al).

7a77bd9de7 Update Windows installation instructions
The windows installation instructions were very out of date. Substantial
update to the text. Remove a lot of historical stuff that isn't relevant
any more, and merge the win64 and win32 instructions into one file.
