Generally, no - but it will if UNIX_TOOLS are installed, and in that case I
think using -p would be the preferred option.
This issue seems to come up quite often, by the way. I think I've seen
related patches come by at least four or five times in the past... not
sure what happened to those, as the problem apparently still exists.
Are the directories Allegro creates during installation removed by a make
uninstall? If so, it may be best to detect the precense of those
directories when make install is run and tell teh user to make uninstall
their previous version first. Or is this too bothersome?
