Yep. I've been doing this on the command line for user installs for a
while.. There's only so many times you can type things like:
make BINOWN=`id -u` BINGRP=`id -g` SHAREOWN=`id -u` ... NO_FSCHG=y
.... .... installworld
.. before going crazy. Having a single knob to do it would be much
more convenient.
