Sorry. I don't think that's worthwhile.
The best way to keep track of what is installed it to use the GNU-style
prefix and install in some initially-empty directory. Then you'll
find everything that's been installed, even if it was created via
ln -s, cp, mv, or by some other program.
If you want to get make install do that nonetheless, I suggest you modify
and use the install-sh shell script that you find in many GNU packages.
