there's nothing special about 'make install' or package installation in general.. you can just dump binaries in /usr/local/bin and throw a few .desktop files in /usr/share/applications to run them. perhaps experiment with a vm fresh install of a few linux flavors to see if/where all the binaries "just work" ?

perhaps just a little text mode installer would suffice. one that can also uninstall, because that's just the right thing to do ;)
