+ - You can install bup via "make install", and override the default
+   destination with DESTDIR and PREFIX.
+
+   Files are normally installed to "$DESTDIR/$PREFIX" where DESTDIR is
+   empty by default, and PREFIX is set to /usr.  So if you wanted to
+   install bup to /opt/bup, you might do something like this:
+
+        make install DESTDIR=/opt/bup PREFIX=''
