[sudo-users] Problem of install tarball packages

[Carville, Stephen]

Assuming the procedure is :

1. Extract the tar to $HOME/somewhere

2. cd to the directory

3. ./configure

4. make

5. sudo make install

Then only the last step really needs root privileges.

A     ALL = (ALL) /usr/bin/make

Bear in mind this allows A to install anything he can create a make file
for so he might as well have root all around...
