Sorry I'm quite tired, I realize I didn't give a good explanation.
INSTALLCHOWN will default to
o "-o root -g wheel" when installing kernel,
o "-o ${KMODOWN} -g {KMODGRP}" when installing module.
It can be overrided to whatever you want and in particular, it may
be set to nothing when you want to install as user (no chown(2)
performed).
