Yeah, I was just pointing out that for me, "~" ports across a number of different machines, and putting stuff specific to any particular machine in there needs more thought. For UpLib, I generate machine UUIDs from characteristics of the machine, using uuidgen, and store compiled code and other machine specific things in a subdirectory with that UUID. Otherwise, we end up trying to execute PPC compiled shared libraries on a SPARC platform, or Python 2.5 extensions with Python 2.3.
