 How/Why does conndlg require this? I'm asking since I can't imagine 
too many ways of requiring this without breaking 'make install'.
 Err, is 'make install' regularly used by any developer/nightly build? 
Looking some Makefile.ams and such it seems to me that there is problems 
with it, but maybe I have just not understood how thinks work. I'm not 
going to test it myself when I have only cygwin system to play with. I 
don't want to be "always root" while suspicious if 'make install' does 
what I tell it to do.
