something just occurred to me - if this has been discussed already, excuse an often distracted hanger-on ;-) we must make sure that we don't repeat the trap gnu configure leads into, ie. confusing the *build* machine with the *run* machine. I'm fairly certain the move to cmake has taken care of most of this, but I want to make quite certain that the scheme Lukas suggests doesn't affect the installability of the resulting stuff on other machines.
