Create a custom directory tree, install into it, and now you can 
tarball it knowing that you've got everything you need with all the 
right attributes!

	mkdir /tmp/custom
	cd /usr/src/etc ; make DESTDIR=/tmp/custom distrib-dirs
	cd /usr/src/usr.bin/ssh ; make DESTDIR=/tmp/custom install

btw, DESTDIR is fully documented.
