Currently, a single user install as you've suggested yesterday doesn't
seem to work. With
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --prefix="$HOME"
the generated Makefile still contains many system directories where
"make install" tries to install files.

`----
but then it should explain what hierarchy it expects in HOME.
