The only thing that is necessary is to add a dest_dir= option
for "sons install" so that the installation can be done in another
directory tree.

So, with dest_dir=/tmp/foo, for example, instead of installing
in /usr/bin/lyx, scons would install /tmp/foo/usr/bin/lyx

I'll take a look later, but I can't get to this for a few days --- so
I am just passing this on in case someone else wants to add this feature.

If the dest_dir feature is added into the scon stuff, it will literally
take 5 minutes for me to create a supporting spec file.
