...like test suites run after install.  Still some cruft in there from 
that in the cleanup section of build.sh for each package.

Anyway, group of scripts is put up at 
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~dj/DESTDIR-LFS-6.4/
and a tarball (if you really want it) at 
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~dj/packages-6.4.tar.bz2

I must say that new system is a lot faster than my normal build PC.  I 
think I'll try to make it catch up to my dev system...give me another 
box ready for alternate directories anyway.  OK, back to Gnome for me.
