The problem with that is that it's referenced in a lot of places in the 
book.  What needs to be done is "make DESTDIR=$PWD/tmpinstall install" 
and copy the files into the proper locations.  There are problems with 
the man and info locations as will as overwriting /usr/bin/man.

A warning for now may be easier.  I'll see what I can do today, but I 
will be generally unavailable for changes starting tomorrow until Sunday.
