There's not any special reason that `make' should necessarily be used
-- I think it was just convenient to use it. Most source
distributions use a `make install' step so this seems fairly logical.
It could have also been done with a shell script, I suppose, or just
explicit instructions.

This has been a pretty low traffic list lately. Only a handful of
messages a week.
