That, if I'm playing back my notes correctly, is exactly the reason I chose 
this route.

I'm bundling up tarball'd installs for remote deploy (atm, using DIY scripts; 
eventually, Puppet etc).

With $PREFIX 'hard-coded' on my dev/compile box, it's quite difficult to 
clobber an existing install by accidentally omitting DESTDIR= (either by my own 
doing, or that of a remote admin).

In an env with fewer hands and just local keyboards, DESTDIR= is a fine option.
