BTW: its never been necessary to install Felix. You can just work directly
off build/release, or, copy build release anywhere you like. All you have
to do is say:

        flx --test=dirname

to use this, or 

        export FLX_INSTALL_DIR=dirname

(and of course make sure flx is on your PATH, either copy
build/release/host/bin/flx to where you want it or add
build/release/host/bin to your PATH).

Some Felix binaries require dynamic loading. For these you must
also set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to build/release/host/lib/rtl.
If you use flx to run the binary it will do that for you. 
You can do

        flx --test=build/release --run-only executable

for this to work.

most of the flx options can be found by

        flx --help

You can find the location which flx will use for the install by

        flx --where

[Ignore the FLX_INSTALL_DIR etc showing in the current repository code
as these are just diagnostics]

just FYI: when i designed the install method I made a deliberate
decision that /usr/local/lib/felix was where it would install on
all platforms (even Windows). just so it would be easier to help people 
debug things. Put stuff in a non-standard space and half the email
conversation is trying to find out where things are rather than sort
out the problem.
