This is/was my preferred way to do this.  And yes, other developers had
problems grasping the issue.  And resulted in many mixed-mode builds.

And actually going this way removed complication of installing
'bin/release' and 'bin/debug' sort of destinations.

The idea of making an install that installs from a install won't work; the
inbetween could still be corrupted from partial release/debug mode builds.
