        A view from the peanut gallery - I was surprised when I found that
make package did an install, also irritated when I found that once I had
done a make install I couldn't do a make package. I've learned to live with
it and I was never motivated to complain (not very irritated) but I think I
would prefer it if make package did not do a make install, and certainly if
it were possible to do a make package when the package is already installed.
