Fair enough. And sorry for adding another global kludge. IOhannes and me agreed that those files generally are unnecessary. That's why I put the line to the global install target. However, I very much understand your preference not to add more of those global 'solutions'. If that's ok with you, I'll move it to zexy_install and make it a zexy only solution.
