I'm a bit unsure as to why that's a problem.  Presumably if you're
installing, you have `rw' access to the prefix directory *tree*, but
perhaps the issue is that `root' gave `rw' access only to the
*subdirs* of that tree?

If that's so, perhaps the enclosed patch will solve the problem.
Please check it out, not only on an existing source/build tree,
but with a fresh build.  (I won't have time to do this myself, today,
as I'm about to leave for several hours.)

Unless a problem shows up, I'm happy to commit this patch to the
mainline.  But, Jeff, is this worth putting on the release branch
at this point?  Either way is fine by me -- I'd like to fix this
stuff, given how much I (and others) have already invested in
trying to eliminate these kinds of problems, but I don't want to
destabilize the release, and am willing to go along with your
sense of whether this patch would do so at this point.

        tq vm, (burley)
