True. Any task likely to be performed as 'root' becomes a big deal.
To be honest, it would be nice if 'make install' displayed a dialog
which specifies the install locations of all the files to be installed
and requests that I confirm it. Even then, there is the assumption
that the install scripting does not have a bug. We are putting huge
trust in 'make install'.
