 Description   

We removed it as part of adding hygienic build support, but we neglected to update the documentation.

We should either update the documentation to provide an equivalent (which would require getting users to start using hygienic builds, something we aren't quite prepared to do), or we should add --prefix back for non-hygienic builds.
