I would expect endian issues with some files.

Other than that, we try to be friendly to users installing on clusters
or $HOME just doing a make install INSTALL_DIR=., by not using to many paths.

There is also extensive documentation about the current path setup
since we expect many users without intense knowledge about computing. 

It would therefore be nice to do this somewhat coordinated, if it has to be
done.

Besides, do you intend to also make a package of the databases?

Yes, you can also get FFindex via:
