Well, I plan to get rid of the move-and-link style of installing
things, in favour of a straightforward /usr/bin/install.
At the meeting, DSB mentioned an advantage of the move-and-link style.
He mentioned it rather in passing, though, and I didn't really follow
it at the time: David, what was it again?
I _presume_ that the main motivation for that install style was to save
on disk space, which I presume we don't have to worry about any more.
Is that right?
See you,
Norman
