If I do

I am left with files in the tree that are not owned by myself.

To wit:

find ! -user dak

gives me

./out/offline-root
./out/offline-root/AUTHORS.txt

Since it is sort of a nuisance to get rid of files you don't own, it
would be good if make install-* did not create any files in-tree when
the respective make * commands have already been run.

After all, it is one of the most common use cases to run make install-*
as a different user.
