Heh.  Thanks.  I almost like it to.  I like what it does for the
non-V=1 formatting, as I think its easier to read the installation
process.  But I really don't like that install target.  The problem
of course is there's no $@ that I can depend on in the install rules,
and the rules for the builtins (rm -f && ln) is very very messy.

Right.  I wanted to try and keep the lines very simple, like we
have with our CC/GEN/BUILTIN lines.  But I also wanted to be clear
about which directories we are dropping stuff into.

Right.  My target there was that the V=1 case was *exactly*
what I had before.  Because a simple installation with no pretty
formatting should be exactly that; a simple installation with no
pretty formatting.
