install-local target?

1) In the Extending node of the automake (1.10.2) manual, there's a typo:

now: respected by `automake' to ensure the user always have the last word.
new: respected by `automake' to ensure the user always has the last word.

   Also, it might be clearer to make each of the following two sentences
   into an @item.


2) Anyway, what I'm really writing about is ... I gather there is no
   install-local target.  Or any other way to run additional commands at
   install time, after install-exec and install-data have run.
   
   The usefulness is to run a post-install command installed by
   install-exec, using data installed by install-data.  I need to do
   this in the TeX tree.
   
   I worked around it by using a different rule that depends on install,
   which is fine, so this isn't make-or-break or anything.  I just
   wanted to suggest it.  Or is there another way to accomplish it?
   I guess install: could be made into a double-colon target, but
   that doesn't exactly seem right either.

Thanks,
Karl
