 When installing, igrid puts a few files in a directory named IPython right
 below PREFIX:

 {{{
 igrid_help.css  igrid_help.html
 }}}

 It's in general very bad practice to create top-level directories
 immediately below PREFIX, since PREFIX can be something like /usr/ for
 default installations done at the system level.

 The attached patch fixes the problem, but I don't want to apply it without
 knowing if it breaks ipipe.  Since the files in question are for the ipipe
 html help, it may be that ipipe needs to also be modified so it finds them
 at runtime.  In that case, it may be better to put them somewhere other
 than under the docs, but certainly not at the top-level where they are
 going now.
