I would be interested in something like this, too.

A possible implementation could be to support an
install target for each install directory, e.g.

        make install_bin

to install just the stuff to $(bindir). A "release" target
could then be defined in the top level Makefile, e.g.

release: install_bin install_lib install_include install_data

The "old" install target could work as before.
