On OSX, at least, installation is a complicated matter, so I would leave
it out of it. But I think if anyone wants to have a go fixing the install

does a good job, although it needs to be fixed slightly to take account
of SONAMEs and the change in name of libcsnd. But it's really
designed for linux.

As a member of the GoboLinux community, I just wanted to say that this
is *really* important. Not all distributions follow the FHS standard...
(And some users might want to install it under their $HOME, etc..)
