Why do some people use stage target and not install? Don't they need the headers? Do they use the source directory directly?
Yes. For example, if you're working off SVN HEAD, you don't need to copy headers somewhere else, whereas putting all binaries in a single directory is still convenient. And 'install' won't work out of the box, anyway, since it tries to install into /usr/local, and regular users can't do that. - Volodya
