 Again, I am for more hard measures
 Since I can't think of a port which can be installed as user (may be
 wrong of course) the script may stop or ask for confirmation. The same
 reason: I type make and forget about that shell for a while, I can easily
 miss the message.
 But if I think the message should definitely go in there.
