Summary
Documents a wrapper-script approach for running GTimer when installed to a non-
/usrprefix, so users don't have to setGSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR/XDG_DATA_DIRSin every shell.The wrapper resolves the compiled schema directory relative to its own location (
<prefix>/share/glib-2.0/schemas/), so it keeps working even if the prefix is moved. Added to the Install section of the README, right after the existing env-var instructions.Contributed by @sedererdj in #10.
Test plan
--prefix=/somedirinstall cleanly without per-shell env setup
