Well, it's not really "backward compatible" because now you have 3 options to enable/disable the installation of 3 binaries, but the package nonetheless installs gazillions of other binaries. So it doesn't make much sense to have options just for those 3 binaries. > BTW, there should be a simple way to skip installation of all > executables, by tweaking the live555 makefiles.

This would only be possible if you had a patch that can always be applied, and then the .mk file calls "make install-all" or "make install-lib" or something like that. But if it's not planned in the live555 build system, I don't think it's really worth doing the change.
