Hmm, I think there's a slight misunderstanding here.

What I meant earlier by install-sdk and install-fhs is to preserve the 
current behavior of "make install" as "make install-sdk" and have "make 
install-fhs" behave like normal OSS app on "make install", which 
installs everything (both devel and runtime parts)

This patch series eliminates the current behavior of "make install" 
entirely. I personally would not miss it at all, but there likely are 
people relying on it since its quite visibly documented and all. So I 
think the idea was to introduce a separate FHS-installation target and 
then deal with the notion of default behaviors etc separately.

I guess it was already this way in v2 of the series, apologies for 
missing it there.
