There are a lot of sloppy people around.
I had a make check test divert its output to /dev/null,
only the test also changed the permissions of the output
file, too.  Someone complained that /dev/null became r--r--r--.
It might be useful to choke on non-install targets when
the uid is zero?  *sigh*  "If it hurts, don't do it."  :-)
