Subject: Another minor build nit...

I notice that you have defined an INSTALLROOT make variable, which is
very handy. Just a comment that all the autotools and lots of other
F/OSS build systems have settled on DESTDIR as the name of this variable
(it does the same thing INSTALLROOT does).
Adding something simple like:
INSTALLROOT = $(DESTDIR)
to Makefile.rules or similar could allow for both uses, which would make
integrating autofs with automated build systems that have built-in
support for autotools-style configure/build/install systems.
Cheers!
