Right, in fact I went one better and put together a whole
automake/autoconf/built-shell-script which builds a wrapper script and
installs everything where it needs to be and voila, It Just Works(tm)!

I'm not, but the building isn't my main concern, it's the installing and
using.  Like I say, maybe I'm missing something, but as far as I've been
able to determine, there simply isn't any support in the distribution for
even rudimentary installation and command-line use.  See my last post, I'd
be more than happy to contribute my solution if there's any interest in it.
