I would agree. I don't expect "make" to touch anything outside of the
local sandbox...
As for tying it to install/uninstall... I would lean towards not
using those targets, or at least not running them when running the
top level targets of the same name.

It would appear that the editor/Makefile is not removed during a
realclean, nor is editor/ made clean when parrot is.
Since the 'clean' target in editor/Makefile modifies files in $
(HOME) do
we really want to invoke that action when 'make clean' is run in the
root sourcedir?
Isn't using make 'all/clean' to modify files outside the builddir
wrong?
Shouldn't that action be wired to install/uninstall?
