By defining rootprefix= we avoid a double slash in $systemdsystemunitdir and other variables. This fixes a regression introduced in1c2c7c6cb3where the variables using rootprefix=/ would start with a double slash. This should be interpreted the same, but is certainly ugly. The rootprefix variable was added to systemd.pc in1c2c7c6cb3, so there is no question of backwards compatiblity. If people try to "override" the prefix and specify --define-variable=rootprefix=/, they will get a double slash, which should be OK, and is the same as --define-variable=rootprefix=/something/, which also results in a double slash somewhere in the strings.
