Yes, I've seen that and read the documentation of the new INSTALL
comand. It is still unlear to me in what case I should use what command.
(What is the conecuptual difference between a FILE and a TARGET? May a
TARGET consist of more than one files?)

And I still do not undestand the effect of these commands concerning a
"make package_source". Do they have any? If not, how can I fine-tune
what gets packaged into a package_source?

Joachim
