That, or write a competently-written Makefile *from scratch* and contribute it upstream if you want to help the project. Seriously. That Makefile looks like someone decided "Makefiles are traditional, so we need one", but had no real idea how to make one, so they just created aliases for the commands they usually used to manually compile and install it. -- Eli Schwartz
