Let's make an option (that would go to AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS) to enable relaxed check using DESTDIR. `make installcheck' would be skipped if this option is used. For example, reiserfsprogs installs binaries to /sbin, and they has a good reason for that. Using DESTDIR is the only way that reiserfsprogs passes `make distcheck'. It's still better than `make dist' for making real releases. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
