+1, let's drop it. Ideally as a separate patch in include/Makefile, so that
include/lapi/Makefile can be based on it. Maybe we could even have a template in
include/mk/ instead of copypasting (when now we will not have INSTALL_*, but I
don't require it (it's just 2x Makefile, they can be copy pasted).

+1.
