Hi Mario,

it would be good if you could share your opinions of the patchset that Aaron
linked to below, and how it might interact with or impact your patchset - or if
you even think it's not worthwhile doing. There's been a worrying lack of 
comment on that thread!

On your patchset, I'm just not convinced that adding in a whole set of new
make targets is the best way to go here. It seems more like putting an extra layer
of complexity in without fixing the underlying problems [which to me is the 
fact of "make install" being used in a non-standard way.]

Regards,
/Bruce
