I know this, if you'll read my mails in the archive, you'll see that I
already tried this. Regarding to this issue I then used the recommended
way

make install DESTDIR=/usr/local

but this does put everything into

/usr/local/usr

and not into

/usr/local

;).

For Linux there always should be the possibility to chose the wanted
directory, if it doesn't work, it should be fixed ;). The git version
also misses make deinstall rules ;).
