P.S. The reason I use shadow directories is that it allows me to compile several Vim builds with different config settiings (I started with a Tiny "vi" build and a Huge "vim" build) without the one throwing wrenches into the other's cogs — and also with the possibility of incremental updates, i.e., rebuilding only what has changed, with is what "make" is for.
