I do occassionally feel your 'make install' pain and some sort of 'make __install' might be called for.
As I said, I don't mind the default being there, it's certainly consistent with the default being safe. However, not being able to override it is bad.

instead of
CC = gcc
in Makefiles. I assume it does precisely what you want. So I think anybody arguing against
