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. Jordan
