This is a good first step in the right direction, I think.

Shouldn't the install targets take DESTDIR into account like the
main Makefile does, though?

As to the patch submission, everything below "---" line looks sane,
but please check how others write commit log messages by browsing a
handful of entries in "git log --no-merges" output and notice the
difference (the details are found in Documentation/SubmittingPatches).

Thanks.
