It's provided by packages (and officially suggested by upstream). It
works like that:
1) if --without-systemdsystemunitdir is provided, systemd units are not
installed,
2) if --with-systemdsystemunitdir=... is provided, systemd units are
installed in specified directory,
3) if none of the above is provided, systemd checks for its pkgconfig
file and grabs the directory from there.
