No need to CC me, I'm on the list.
As to make, I guess you don't use make -n install. It doesn't actually
install, just shows you what's going to happen. That's one way. Another
is to actually look at (and modify if necessary) the makefiles before you
even start. Knowing where things are gonna go in advance is something I
learned a long time ago with earlier versions of innd.
