Summary: implement DESTDIR in Makefiles

Initial Comment:
It is customary to implement DESTDIR in Makefiles.  I would like to be able to execute the following:

make DESTDIR=/opt/ibm/ltp install

I believe automake would have set this up.

All or nothing is a barrier for developers to write new test cases using
USCTEST in preparation to include in LTP.  I don't want to deal with the
entire LTP bundle for me to write new tests that may or may not be included
in the upstream LTP.

switching ltp to automake really isnt desirable or needed

ltp also isnt designed to be installed in the first place ... you build it
up locally and run it

many test cases need to be run by root in order to be useful at all which
sort of defeats the purpose of it being a package in the first place

standalone test cases should not exist ... they should be integrated into
ltp proper

make install does not install anything, it just creates a bunch of
symbolic links.   The symbolic links in the build tree should be done
during the normal "make" pass.

make install should install in DESTDIR with the default being /usr/local/ 
 It should install libltp, headers, runltp, and pan.

I would like to be able to create a standalone LTP test case and be able
to run it with what was previously built and installed.  Ultimately I would
like to have a rpm package of ltp.
