Here are two bugs in the install process that I've stumbled over while
setting up Coda recently. First is that vice-setup-user doesn't warn you
that UID 1 is taken.
Second is that my version of make (3.79.1) removes asr/resolver_lexer.c
after building resolver_lexer.o, as it's just an intermediate file, unless
there's an explicit rule for resolver_lexer.c. This becomes a problem if
you place your build tree in NFS, and then do "make install" as root,
which doesn't have permission to rebuild resolver_lexer.c. Adding an
explicit rule prevents make from removing the intermediate .c file.
