epkg - Packaging system for source apps (all those *.tar.gz an *.tgz etc.)

briefly
After unpacking some package
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/encap/

more details
epkg symlinks files from source directory to target dir
this allows you to keep packages in separate dirs but still have symlinks to
them in /usr/local/lib /usr/local/man etc.
Example:
I store all my packages in /opt dir (e.g. /opt/cdda2wav /opt/cdrecord)
therefore I do
./configure --prefix=/opt/cdda2wav or by editing Makefile
make
make install
epkg -s /opt cdda2wav

if i wish removal
epkg -r -s /opt cdda2wav

you have to define -s source and -t target dirs if neccessary
-s defaults to /usr/local /usr/local/encap
-t defaults to /usr/local
