I think this is part of a more general issue which it may be worthwhile
to address. Some guidelines on how to deal with installing (and locally
maintaining) applications which for one reason or another will not fit
within the SuSE normal build parameters. On some occasions I think one
can get little to involved in trying to force the square peg into the
round hole, rather than figuring out that it might be more useful to
have both a square hole and a round hole...

Just a thought....
