From INSTALL file, 'maint' branch:

  Alternatively you can use autoconf generated ./configure script to
  set up install paths (via config.mak.autogen), so you can write instead

        $ autoconf ;# as yourself if ./configure doesn't exist yet
        $ ./configure --prefix=/usr ;# as yourself
        $ make all doc ;# as yourself
        # make install install-doc ;# as root

From INSTALL file, 'next' and 'master' branches (here since 2006-08-08):

  Alternatively you can use autoconf generated ./configure script to
  set up install paths (via config.mak.autogen), so you can write instead

        $ make configure ;# as yourself
        $ ./configure --prefix=/usr ;# as yourself
        $ make all doc ;# as yourself
        # make install install-doc ;# as root
