Sorry if I'm being dense here, but how does this translate into
./configure options and/or make targets?

By "use different directories" do you mean while setting the configure
options? (ie. --with-ca-prefix=DIR, --with-node-prefix=NODEPREFIX,
--with-ra-prefix=DIR, etc.) or something else.  It looks like these all
default to different values anyway...  Am I missing something?

Again, how does this translate into ./configure options and/or make
targets?  Would I just run:
./configure (but what options... or are there any special options for a
single-computer installation?... I realize of course that there are many
options that relate to my httpd and so forth, but I mean those that are
specifically for OpenCA related to a single-computer installation... or
are there any?)
make
make test
make install-ca
make install-ext
any others?

What about:
install-ldap
install-node
etc.

And exactly what is meant by "node" here (a computer?)?

Thank you, dalani!
