  Make sure you do a "make SHARED=copies install" otherwise "install" 
will just install a bunch of symlinks for stuff, which isn't good, if it 
is just a temporary NFS mount.

  I don't like how "make install" requires write access.  I'd very much 
like to make /usr/src and /usr/obj mountable from anywhere, but 
read-only, for easy, on-the-fly upgrades of systems.
