This isn't the greatest solution in the world.. but maybe we should place a
MESSAGE text in all the packages that create suid root(bin wotever) binaries
saying "Hey, I've just made your system insecure, this is why:" 

Hell.. maybe we should just mail that to root.. that way people typing make
install in a tree and getting coffee won't miss it.
