You'll note that there is now a make install option.  I've been thinking
of adding a configure script, but I haven't gotten around to putting
much effort into it yet.  If you want to pursue this, be my guest.  I
don't really have the means to test this on a wide range of Unices, so
having something unofficial that could get tested openly on a number of
systems before being incorporated into an official version would
probably be a good thing.
