Yes, that's how it should be done (except that I'd use $(MAKE)....)

Should not be needed. A simple

	make install PREFIX=/some/where/else

should do. There *is* a separate 'install' target, isn't there?

Everyone likely to be using a to-DOS crosscompiler, I'd say. At least
once he/she has learned about the existence of the portable InfoZip
programs, 'zip' and 'unzip'. There's quite a set of things that
zip/unzip handles better than tar.gz ever could, so it has it's own
place even in the Unix world.
