12.3 Extending Installation
===========================

It is possible to extend this mechanism by defining an
‘install-exec-local’ or ‘install-data-local’ rule.  If these rules
exist, they will be run at ‘make install’ time.  These rules can do
almost anything; care is required.

   Automake also supports two install hooks, ‘install-exec-hook’ and
‘install-data-hook’.  These hooks are run after all other install rules
of the appropriate type, exec or data, have completed.  So, for
instance, it is possible to perform post-installation modifications
using an install hook.  Note: Extending, for some examples.
