Note that this (DESTDIR) is a feature of automake, so any package which
uses automake will understand this idiom.
The GNU autotools (autoconf/automake) are not trivial to use from a
maintainer's standpoint, but they have a lot of wonderful benefits from
the user's standpoint: lots of really nice and powerful features along
with a consistent interface and usage pattern.
Cheers!
