Something similair to Apache's DESTDIR option to make would be great, when building PHP to be distributed on a cluster of webservers, you often have a test environment where you're not root -- In these cases, you need to test your php installation (with appropriate paths, such as /usr/local/lib/php).  However, you need the data to be installed in your home directory.

ie,

make install :=

/usr/lib/php/PEAR.php
/usr/bin/php
etc.

make install DESTDIR=/home/sterling

/home/sterling/usr/lib/php/PEAR.php
/home/sterling/usr/bin/php
