Comment (by duncan):

 It'd certainly make building distro packages easier. Currently in Gentoo
 we have to:

 {{{
 emake -j1 ${insttarget} \
   prefix="${D}/usr" \
   datadir="${D}/usr/share/doc/${P}" \
   infodir="${D}/usr/share/info" \
   mandir="${D}/usr/share/man" \
   libdir0="${D}/usr/$(get_libdir)" \
   || die "make ${insttarget} failed"
 }}}

 If we could reduce the overrides to just {{{DESTDIR="${D}"}}} that'd be
 nice.
