Subject: modtool: use prefix path for modtool instead of prefs

When a prefix gets installed, the [modtool] section in prefs hardcodes
the path to the templates in the newly installed prefix as a global path
for all modtools.  This creates major problems when bouncing between
prefixes, especially when newmod changes between releases

Why not just use the prefix as the root of where to look for the
templates
