My understanding has been that the 'install' target should (almost?)
always have a dependency on the 'all' target. No sense having
'install' repeat what is already being done by 'all'.
I have no objection to having a 'install-only' target, but
interestingly, that info node I mentioned above doesn't say anything
about 'install' targets that just install and don't build.
How can you 'install' something if it isn't built?
