To my knowledge environment variables are automatically made into make 
variables as well (same as with sh, actually), but if install_root has 
to be after make, than could this detail please be included in the 
INSTALL file, especially since the example there shows LANGUAGE and 
LC_ALL variables before the `make` command ?
