Segregate install into -- install: binary and library -- lib: library only -- dev: library and header
Add uninstall targets: uninstall, uninstall-lib, uninstall-dev

Thanks! This looks good. But I have a question. I typically don't use the "install" target (unless it's wrapped up in a package I prefer to manually install binaries). How are you using this? Would the inclusion of a .deb or .rpm spec be more useful?

My next step was to build a bitbake recipe for an OpenEmbedded distribution, and having these targets makes it easier for me to segregate the binary, library, and dev header into separate packages. I have an LED control system I build which can use the library to control the mk2 which is far more performant than spawning a process for the purpose of calling the binary.
