I think that means our normal devel-mode install is "user-installed code".
I think that needs to go in our documentation. (along with a quick summary
of FHS: user-installed goes in local, system packages go in non-local. A
reference to FHS would be good.)
Do we want a system-code install mode?
Does install have a single where-to-put-it parameter? Or do we need several,
one for ntpd (sbin), one for python code (bin) and one for python libraries?
-------
Do we need a way to check that we are using the right library?
I think that means we need the version string or time stamp in both the
library and the code that uses the library with a simple sanity check at the
top of the uses code.
