David A. Wheeler 5156456c79 flawfinder: Improve error-handling. Warn of non-existent files (esp long dash)
- Provide a separate warning for filenames listed on the command line
    but do not actually exist.
  - Provide a SPECIAL warning for filenames that begin with
    the UTF-8 sequence of long dashes. Users might
    copy-and-paste from the pdf version of the man page, and that might
    produce long dashes (instead of normal dashes).  This problem
    can be hard to detect, so specially warning about it should help.

David A. Wheeler ec361412f3 Support GNU convention variables (prefix, bindir, man1dir) and DESTDIR
- Modify makefile to support GNU convention makefile variable names,
    including prefix, bindir, datarootdir, mandir, and man1dir.
    It is tweaked so that the older variable names (e.g., INSTALL_DIR)
    will continue to work.
  - DESTDIR support added.
  - Predefined a useful INSTALL_PROGRAM makefile variable; that means
    that users can redefine it if they want.
