Before: `make install` does not install contrib/.
After: `make install` installs contrib/. So probably not what we want,
at least recursively or by default. It would be nice that if you were
actually in contrib, `make install` would do what one expected (and
kill the ugly hardcoding of each script needed to currently install
[1]). Autotools probably makes a setup like this a bitch though.
Thoughts from anyone else?
