We're trying to build installable files in a different directory, a
subdirectory of the top level. It doesn't *need* to be done; it was
thought that it would make a number of things simpler. Unfortunately,
it is probably too hairy to actually do.
I'm going to look into DJ's suggestion of copying produced files into
this new directory. I'm not sure it will have the desired effect, but
it might work. :-/
