Often installs in /usr/local, rather than /opt/garbage/, which is
presumably why he's compiling it himself in the first place.

(Or, rather, it's why I often compile stuff instead of installing
the package.  I don't want it _there_, I want it over _here_.)

Compiling GST runs the max-line-length test...repeatedly.

And then says it's caching the result.
