It is platform dependent. On some platforms (like HP-UX and AIX)
"make install" does require write access to the .libs directories.

Everyone agrees that documentation is architecture independent and
therefore belongs under $prefix/share/doc. I'm waiting for the GNU
standards to be changed to reflect this. The GNU standards currently
available on ftp.gnu.org still want info files to be installed in
$prefix/info.
