Installing outside of DESTDIR is extremely unfriendly to packagers, at
the very least.
But "where vim wants it" is only useful to the sysadmin. Us poor
users trying to install things need things in places like $HOME/.vim
and dislike it when the install fails just because it can't install
to /etc when I never asked it to.

It's hidden behind some environment variables:
$(PROGTARGETS): % : $dir
$(INSTALL_PROG) $($@) $(DESTDIR)/$($<)/
expands to (in one instance)
prog : progdir
./install-sh -m 755 asciidoc a2x.py $(DESTDIR)/$(bindir)/
Similarly when using $(INSTALL_DATA) to install the files from $
(docbook), $(dblatex), etc.
