"make install" dumps all the test/example programs into /usr/local/bin!

On a Mac or Linux box, do "./configure; make; make install".

You'll see that all the programs under "prog" automatically get installed in 
/usr/local/bin/.  Bad idea.  They should only get installed if the user says 
something like "make install-examples", or some such.

This is 1.68 on OS X 10.5.

This is an issue I had been meaning to raise with Dan but after all the effort 
it took to get 1.68 out the door, I wanted a break from it! ;)

I've never been entirely clear on what these programs are actually for. I 
gather some of them are tests. Are there also utilities that may be useful? Or 
example programs where the source is more interesting than the resulting 
binaries?

In the case of tests, these can be treated specially by autotools. I've never 
tried it but "make distcheck" can be used to run such tests and "make 
installcheck" can be used to install them if that is desired. I'll see what I 
can do here.

Did you try this:
./configure --disable-programs
