Installation pains and blocks about argbash

[matejak]

Hello, thank you for your time that you took to report the issue!
I will address sub-issues point by point:

1. sudo make install PREFIX=/<whatever> is still the recommended way how to install the software. The consecutive slashes s.a. mkdir -p ///<whatever>/bin are harmless. The Makefile is somehow more complicated inside in order to make it easy for package maintainers to package Argbash. So this is not an issue.
2. Indeed, the /usr directory is usually writable only by root. You chose a different location and installation worked for you. This is also not an issue.
3. Some files were not readable (or even accessible) - those were the "Permission denied" errors. You have solved them using chmod, but I see that a more straightforward error message would be much better for you.
4. The collectors.m4 file was missing from the Argbash package. I have fixed the tests so this is detected and I have also fixed this issue in the current master.

The point 3 has also been addressed in the master branch, so I will close this issue. Please reopen it if you still perceive rough edges!

I couldn't get it to work with the new commit, but I'll keep trying, time permitting.

This is very strange. The master branch should install fine. Could you please paste any errors that you get?

As you have not provided feedback and I believe that the issue is resolved, I close it. However, don't hesitate to reopen it if you disagree.
