a few suggestions

[Terrence M. Brannon]

my install failed because the LIBDIR and a few other directories
existed. it might be a good idea to put a dash before these mkdir
commands like so: (just two are included as example)

install: lout c2lout
        @echo ""
        @echo "(a) Installing Lout and c2lout binaries into BINDIR $(BINDIR)"
        cp lout $(BINDIR)/lout
        chmod 755 $(BINDIR)/lout
        cp c2lout $(BINDIR)/c2lout
        chmod 755 $(BINDIR)/c2lout
        @echo ""
        @echo "(b) Installing library files into LIBDIR $(LIBDIR)"
        -mkdir $(LIBDIR)
        chmod 755 $(LIBDIR)
        @echo ""
        -mkdir $(LIBDIR)/include
        chmod 755 $(LIBDIR)/include
        cp include/* $(LIBDIR)/include
        chmod 644 $(LIBDIR)/include/*
        @echo ""
        -mkdir $(LIBDIR)/data
