Thanks for the tidying: I'll work through this properly late next week.  
(Office moves today.)  Quick comments: I'd prefer not to see DESTDIR in 
Makefiles though: only in the template, and some (I thought most?) people 
*do* want to pick up some include files etc. from their DESTDIR (they're not
installed on their main system, or the ones on their system are different
versions from the ones in DESTDIR which has the correct environment the
software uses when it runs): perhaps that should be split into a separate
configuration option (enabled by default)?
