That may all be correct, but the reasons why I personally do not
use make install are
1) "make install" does not work from within a running fvwm session
(at least the last time I tried). It does not overwrite the
running executables.
2) It's ten times slower than my custom script that just overwrite
the executables before restarting.
When I'm hacking away, I easily reinstall and restart fvwm 100
times per day. With my script, that takes about five to ten
minutes, with "make install" it's one to two hours.
