Well, grepping for 'InstallScript' gets me about 6,000 hits. I checked
a few examples and none seemed to do what i want. Can i get a little tutoring
or maybe somebody can point me to an info that does something like this? The
makefile method actually sounds more efficient, but my comprehension of
makefilese is fairly limited as well.
