They probably should, though the install.sh I included doesn't support
install -d. I suppose it could be added pretty easily.
However, since 'make install' is run as root anyway, this probably isn't
a big deal.
as far a config-test goes, perhaps wrapper.c should be hard-coded to
exit and print an explanatory error message if it tries to run
"config-test" is run as root or $W_USER?
