Yes, it skips the PATH suggestion only when "$prefix/bin" is at the front of your $PATH. It can't know whether you have installed autoconf, automake, etc. in your $HOME/bin. Well, it _could_ figure it out, but it's not worth the trouble just to skip a friendly suggestion :-) >> Another change: now, it puts everything in a directory named >> .build-auto-tools, in the current working directory. >> That makes it easier to clean up once you're done. >> Before, you'd end up with two files and a directory for >> each package. > > Perhaps a parting message to the unsuspecting that if they want to clean > up, that they can delete the hidden directory .build-auto-tools?
