I am trying to package the Windows binaries per Jason's instructions and 
I was wondering about the make install command on Windows: without 
specifying a prefix it installs in the current directory but it also 
does other stuff, for example adding a shortcut to the start menu (by 
calling addpm.exe).

Would it make sense to create a 'make package-install' target that omits 
these things (if there is other stuff besides the shortcut, that is more 
intended for a real installation rather than packaging)? When I am 
packaging I don't want the shortcut created.

Or maybe I am just overlooking an obvious way to do this?

Thanks,
Christoph
