I've found that sometimes I need to run Configure to recreate the
Makefiles etc, but I don't want to answer all the questions again.
That I just edit config.sh. I've got a hacked Configure that doesn't
ask me the questions that I use, but it'd be nice if it was in the
distribution. Anyone else suffering similarly.

Another iproblem s that we have our file systems configured so
/usr/local/bin is NFS mounted. It's complicated because we share files
among several architetcures and such. The problem is I can't run "make
install" easily because it does all the chgrp's and such which must be
run as root, and I can't run as root because then I can't write the
NFS file systems. I get around this by changing chgrp='chgrp' to
chgpr='echo' in config.sh so it doesn't do the change group. Then I have
to go the NFS server and do the chgrp's there. Well this is probably
more than anyone cares about, but maybe some one will have a comment.
Thanks....
