Beware there's a bug in that patch: it builds, but it makes the timeout 
wrong.  I've asked suavesteve to update it.

We recommend against running "make install", unless you're building 
binary packages for distribution.  The reason for that recommendation is 
that "make install" copies the linuxcnc build products into your system 
without any kind of tracking, so you can't easily uninstall them later, 
and if a future version of linuxcnc *stops* installing a file, the old 
one will be left behind when you upgrade.

We recommend instead building managed binary packages (like our .debs) 
or using the "run-in-place" feature of our build system, and running 
linuxcnc out of the build directory, without installing.

If you still want to make install, set the DESTDIR environment variable 
to the directory you want to install into.  Something like 
"DESTDIR=/home/user1/programs/linuxcnc make install".

Depending on where the DESTDIR path is, you may need root permissions to 
write there.
