At one time, when machine speeds were still measured in mghz, and g++
was still rather slow to compile, this was done to save on time waiting
for the package to build. After all, nobody building just to install
wanted to also wait to build the demos and test programs they were not
using. To manually cd to demo or test and run Make there seemed
adaquate for those who wanted to.
I paraphrase a prior unanswered question: Why aren't "demo" and "tests"
built as part of the main build?
