Well, /usr/lib/kst/bin seems like a poor choice for the executables,
especially since it wouldn't be in people's $PATH.  If I had complete
choice over the locations (perhaps Don wants to chime in here too?), 
I would want the binaries in: $prefix/bin/
The libraries in: $prefix/$libdir/
And the plugins in: $prefix/$libdir/kst/
Where $prefix and $libdir are settable at compile time.  

Furthermore, it'd be best if when it's actually doing "make install" it
prepended $DESTDIR to all destinations (as for packaging, often packages
are installed into a temporary tree so only the installed file can be
packaged up, which are then put in the correct (ie $DESTDIR=/) location
when the packaging system installs them on an end-user machine).
