is installed -- but in a subdir of the build directory. This is
actually useful behavior if you then use symlinks or dirstacks to
manage your big catch-all directories like /usr/local.
To have tla installed somewhere outside of the build-dir, you _must_
provide a --prefix option to configure. As in:
../configure --prefix /usr/local
