Why do you copy the files? The output is generated in a seperate tree.
If you want the output to be generated in another tree, the only thing
you need to do is adapt the BUILD_DIR variable in the config.opts file.

Nope, none is necessary.

I'm on Linux also, and I know 'make install' is a default way of
installing software on Linux. My current focus is to implement features,
fix problems that apply to all platforms. But don't worry, it's on my
TODO list.
