I don't know if it's feasible, but I think it would be great here
to be able to install a SDK that is usable to build external
applications.

I mean, doing something like that:

  make install-sdk DESTDIR=/tmp/sdk
  cd /path/to/examples/helloworld
  make RTE_SDK=/tmp/sdk/usr/share/dpdk

Else, what is the purpose of installing the sdk?

Olivier
