I agree :).. Sort of like it does when you upgrade MySQL . .  I can see that
it's why they have a data.default/cgi-bin.default, but it should let you
know as well.

I'm confused as to what you're saying though.  Are you saying that it
overwrote your data directory even though it was not pointing to
data.default?  Or are you saying that it was linked to data.default and you
think (as well as I) that it should let you know before blowing data.default
away (perhaps a make flag)?

Cheers,
