Best way of installing lilypond in a non-default dir

[Loïc Minier]

        Hi,

 I've noticed that lilypond doesn't use automake, but custom makefiles.
 These seem to support both a DESTDIR parameter and a prefix parameter.

 When creating packages as a non-root user, it is needed to install the
 built software in a temporary directory, is it best to:
    make install prefix=my/temporary/dir
 or:
    make install DESTDIR=my/temporary/dir

 I was told that lilypond follows the GNU Coding Standard and hence that
 the prefix= solution was the preferred one, but in other packages I use
 DESTDIR.

   Thanks,
