(It's easy to lose track with all the newcomers---which I'm not complaining about---especially since so many are sharing code.) -Carl PS. I actually really like the behavior of -C (especially when installing a low-level library to avoid big waterfalls of needless recompiles). But since we're *not* actually installing a library (yet) I'm happy with this patch rather than writing code in configure to check if "install -C" works or not.
