Then Rod is wrong.  Anything that causes a simple `make' to fall over
after someone's supped the tree is indefensible.  Now we're going to
have all these magic directories where you have to know to do a `make
beforeinstall' before your make worlds can progress through?  People
have to perturb their install areas just to compile things ?  No,
that's just utterly bogus.  I can't believe that Rod was arguing for
this, since he's often very hard come down on stuff where the
build/install line was blurry, and it hosed us.
