Looks better. But, I have a suggestion. Let's include the "script" into
instructions, for example:
if [ $EUID = 0 ]; then make install
elif [ -x /usr/bin/sudo ]; then sudo make install
else su -c "make install"
fi
Add it by default instead of "AS_ROOT make install", but explain how
should it be used and what it really does.
What do you say?
