build process

[Chris Dornan]

Hi Mark,

My build process takes the tarball as input – at the moment I am either collecting the tarball from
Hackage or manually building it from the repo sources. 

I configure with --prefix.

My main concern with the current installers is that they don’t appear to support –destdir,
necessitating them to be installed ‘in place’ for packaging purposes.

Apart from this niggle, the current setup works quite well for me though it could
undoubtedly be tidied up (extracting everything from the cabal file; auto-configuring
configure.ac, etc.).
