I know, and that's why I'm going to be using toolbox for any (if any)
styles I create.

I've been trying to come up with a faster script that handles all of that,
but it's going to take a while. Afterwards, it should be quite easy to
update. I think that the rest of the app is good, although I wouldn't have
had the command tree for bbkeys open by default.
The reason for removing /usr/bin/auto* was because the creators of auto*,
in all of their wisdom, decided that if those programs happen to exist on
your system, ./configure should be rebuilt and rerun when you *attempt* to
run make.
I say *attempt* because I have never seen a machine where those damned
auto* scripts actually work.
