The user just does a simple install (default options) and then we change where things got installed and/or what got installed.

I thought we discussed something like that a long time ago and rejected it. Should we reconsider? Seems like a good idea to me. Would you invent an API version or use the version string from configure? If the latter, short or EXTENDED? -- These are my opinions.
