I'm no expert on this aspect of the build, but one option would be to 
use autotools to have a "make install" target and the poky recipe could 
use that. Alternatively I don't see any reason why you couldn't write an 
install script as part of your repository and just have do_install() 
call that.

You're right, you don't want to have much in the way of install logic in 
the recipe.
