"make install" fails for non-root #45

Closed ssinyagin closed 2 years ago

programs/irr_notify/Makefile has a hardcoded owner and group in install target: -o root -g bin.

So, a non-root user has to modify the Makefile to make the installation complete. In our environment, root user is not allowed by IT, and I believe it's quite common in many places.

So, the installuser should be defined within "configure" script.

Pull request is welcome

I'll make one as soon as #44 is resolved. Also I'll make an update on .gitignore, as there are many files that git shows in 'git status' after compiling.
