Did anyone ever answer this? Just a few notes: the only way to know for
sure what files are installed is to read the Makefiles (maybe do a grep for
ginstall, etc.). As far as forcing a build for packaging, some people just
haven't considered that need, and so you would need to modify the Makefile to
user a variable for root prefix, etc.
