}Yes, we've thought of that.  But not everyone uses "make install" to
}install things, so it still leaves open a possibility of error.

I tried this exact approach in the latest release of Wcl.  There are new
install rules provided to do this.  (Install.rules).  It works well on
all the machines I've tried it on.  Should be interesting to hear how
well it works for others .
