Yes, if you are a single user who wants to stay up-to-date with the
bleeding edge development, this is a very good method.

Still, the makefile has an "install" target, and that should
do something useful for people who want to install the package,
maybe for a group of users.

No, because the danger is too high that systems do not have the tools  
in place
to correctly create the info file.  And the same Makefile is used in the
distribution (zip and tar) files, which contain the ready info file.

I think from a git user I can ask this extra step.  I will make is so  
that

make all

will also make the info file, ok?
