; The logic in that file did:
; Constants:
;   +) debug install flag

;   +) man page location and where in man it should be

;   +) documentation files
;   +) documentation install flag
;   +) documentation install prefix, logic, which defaulted to '/usr/local'

;   +) DESTDIR was an environment variable
;   +) ? makefile destdir

; Functions:
;   +) install a file:
;   The $DESTDIR environment variable.
;   The *.go files are put in (%site-ccache-dir).
;   The *.scm files go in (%site-dir)

;   +) install manual file. These go in:
;   (string-concatenate "/usr/local" "/share/man/")

;   +) install documentation file. These go in:
;   (string-concatenate "/usr/local" "/share/doc/guile-yourproject")
