If for some reason, user wants to skip a version or two, this will
override version bumping in vbump_* and some checks new and tag
creation in release_*.
DESTDIR[1] can be now set to specify the root in situations such as when
building a package or installing to a chrooted environment.
If not specified by environment variable (eg. by make) or in mkit.ini,
the default value is governed by MKIT_DEFAULT_DESTDIR, which defaults to
"/".
