You can easily do this using `make install DESTDIR=...' where DESTDIR
specifies a temporary directory. E.g.
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/FOO
tar -C /tmp/FOO -cvf /tmp/FOO.tar .
Now you can easily install something.tar on your systems in
/usr/local; or even rsync /tmp/FOO to your targets.
