> * running stap without a make install

This is not a great idea.  git commit af29024 offers this advice:
configure: 
configure: For a private or temporary build of systemtap, we recommend
configure: configuring with a prefix.  For example, try
configure: ../systemtap3/configure  --prefix=/home/fche/systemtap-0.8-12350
configure: Running systemtap uninstalled, entirely out of the build tree,
configure: is not supported.

> * stap -r /BUILD/TREE should work better
>   This is bug #5892, with some extras.  q.v.

Fixed (better -r option).

> * make verbosity a pass-dependent thing

Fixed (--vp option).

> * let stap find staprun and stapio in $PATH too

Unnecessary if people are willing to follow --prefix advice.

> * make staprun clean up before & after itself better w.r.t.
>   loaded modules if something with stapio goes wrong

commit c94a9cb3 attempts to unload modules left over by a stap*
crash or SIGKILL, so that a subsequent stap run will work.
