I agree, but the symlink make it impossible to distribute a precompile directory
without modifying the target host directory system (i.e. by adding a link 
as root user in the directory /usr/lib/ )

Also, the installation need to add some stuffs **outside** the --prefix 
directory which would be very bad.

Yes thank you.
I don't use ODBC, but I just hope the glpk install will keek being clean.
