Hmmm.... we did some testing with this this week and there are a couple of
issues:
1. If you don't "make install" then Make.common does not get created
(obviously not necessary for an example... but that is problematic for
some users).
2. If you don't "make install" then bin/libmesh_config doesn't output the
proper include directories (or are we doing something wrong?). Coupled
with #1 this means that not make installing doesn't seem to be an option
for actual application development... but are we missing something?

Well, that assumes that your example is all working in the first place ;-)
When developing a new example for a new feature I expect to do hundreds of
build/run cycles (probably including many debug runs as well) and most of
those won't work in someway...
But it is good to know.

I'll try to go back to not doing out of tree builds and see if I can get it
to work. I really hope so!
Thanks again for the reply,
