People familiar with Axiom, FriCAS, and OpenAxiom know that they have
different installation procedure (even before Waldek's patch).  FriCAS had
the same procude as Axiom.build-improvements.  OpenAxiom later changed
the installation procedure.  Waldek's patch is was OpenAxiom used to
do in the earliest day (e.g. OpenAxiom-1.0.0).  

It seems to me that we have more FUD that concrete data that we can
subject to rational analysis.
