  This may work for the top package (the one that you do a "make update"
in), but how do you do this for dependent packages?  E.g., if glib is
updated, then gtk+ and tons of gnome stuff depend on this.  Glib can, of
course, be built first, but once it gets deinstalled (right before the
install, in your scenario), a ton of other packages get (and need to
get) deinstalled as well that have not been built yet.

  The only solution I see is to get UPDATE_TARGET=replace to work
properly.
