  Installer?  What are you, some type of Windows user? 8-P

  Coming from the Unix world, I'm used to the "configure; make; make
install" method of installation [1].  And unless I change it with some
options to configure, everything ends up installed in /usr/local.

  But how do you describe such a list?  

  -spc (I like "/usr/local" but some Unix systems prefer "/opt")

[1]	And back when I started, there was no "configure" step, you had to
	tweak the Makefile or a header file before running make.
