My thoughts too.

Perhaps there should be a configuration option? --enable-dev-creature-comforts.

W.r.t. private create comforts, I commit them to git and
then rebase on top of my development branch.

Numerous small poorly documents quirky private creature
comforts and options makes for confusing and quaint code...

W.r.t. development, why not install into some temp folder?


configure --prefix=/tmp/test
export PATH=$PATH:/tmp/test/install
make
make install
