Install it where?
I consider installing it in $prefix/bin an unwarranted  pollution.
We can install it in $libdir and add an option "--document" to the
axiom script, e.g. you could say

  axiom --document=tangle foo.pamphlet

that will untangle the SPAD code.  We may add more options as
we have better idea of what to support.

This is something I planned to do, but so far, it wasn't high
on the priority list.
