I think I like the idea of a configure script that hides (some of) the
DPDK config peculiarities behind a more familiar looking interface. For
example it could be used for figuring out the machine-os-compiler
triplet automatically for the common cases.
However having "make install" behave differently depending on which
directory its invoked from I dunno. Its unlike anything else out there
(that I know of) and I thought the idea was to make DPDK behave more
like a normal OSS citizen :)
