(Get the code!)
I'm skeptical of this 'running from source' business. From my experience, many tools built with the GNU tool chain do require a 'make install' invocation for precisely the reasons discussed here. Personally, I would, in this case, rather go with what other projects do and people are used to anyway instead of having a custom solution with the only convenience of saving one the trouble of calling 'make install' (and maybe giving a custom --prefix option to configure). Just my two pence.
