Understood.

Yes.  But, I would prefer to install somewhere in my home, rather than 
have non-distro files in /usr , if that makes sense..

Could be additional options to scons, like PLTPrefix to find the PLT 
needed to compile and PLTInstallPrefix to tell where to install PLT files?

Anyway, no time to hack on this for a while, just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks,


Claude
