Regardless, the instructions are incorrect and the behaviour surprising. When I installed this in a cygwin environment, it went on to clobber my system directories. Would it be more useful to have the Makefile handle the general case and setup.py for more specialised cases, such as generating an rpm? I've thrown some patches together that does some of this. I can tidy these up and put them in a public repository if this sounds like a reasonable plan of attack. -- Daniel White -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
