I mostly agree (I was working with sudo make install in order to package neatroff). However, most of the build scripts which generate binary packages for distros etc use `make install`, usually with DESTDIR set, so it's not irrelevant.

I also think `sudo make install` should at least work as expected in this one case, especially because this project isn't widely packaged so most users will be building from source.
