be inclined to go monkeying with it unless more than one person
complains.
Even if we did see more than one request, I'd be inclined not to change
it. The installation layout stuff is too complicated and fragile
already; and AFAICS it does cover every *reasonable* use case.
I agree, although I think Robert's "really long time" is in fact "since
8.0, before which we didnt provide for relocation at all."
