Build from a clean source-tree. Where do we go from here?

I was affraid of that. CONFIGURE.COM is currently checking the depth of the
source-tree directory and bails out if it is too deep. Should this
max_allowed_dir_depth be set to 0 and hint for this rooted logical way.
Perhaps even set it automatically from DESCRIP.MMS?

How can I set this rooted logical from perl?

I prefer to set this from within Test::Smoke so the individual wrapperscripts
(perl) will also work.
Good luck,

Syntatic aspartame, maybe.
