We usually install by scripts and have one or few own modules
(let's say one mypkg but many libraries we won't install) and
simply use `make -C mypkg install'. In some systems we have an
install: # rule invoking something like
        for d in */pkg/inst ; do make -C $d install || exit 77; done
or so.
