Suggestion: add "dev" target to make, to allow developers to easily play with it locally
I don't know exactly what a make target dev would exactly look like, but having something similar to CouchDBs make dev would be awesome to play with Pillow locally and in isolation without having to install it. I'm not sure though if this would have to do any more than ./configure --prefix=[pwd]/dev && make && make install.
What do you think?
I considered that earlier and dropped it, but only because I didn't use it myself. If you think it's nice let's add it. The build system is modelled after couchdb anyway so it should be straightforward to add it. I'm not able to do so today, but soon.

While I'll be unable to work much the coming week, setting this up shouldn't be hatd. I should be able to test if anyone else could transplant this from couchdb into pillow :)
No need to rush. I just wanted to suggest this as I think this can be quite helpful for developers.
