This definitely needs some better docs and maybe even rename it. I thought
that Install actually copies files.

Another mystery is when I specify different prefix for install target.
SCons rebuils
the libraries. Why?

"base on what was installed"? Do you mean that if the current system does
have some files already installed, the created package will miss those files?
