Thanks for poking the files, I hope I have a chance to look at them
before it's too late.

I would say they should definitely not be installed during make
install.  If someone is compiling the source themselves, they should
see all those files before compiling; if they install via a package
manager, it's up to the distro whether they copy those or not.

Just my severely deflated $0.02 ;)
