Martin,

A build target to install the binaries would suit me fine.  I would be
perfectly happy to have a xemacs-xxx/<target-mach>/bin directory with links
to all the necessary executables. I would prefer not to have the binaries
installed into xemacs-xxx/bin, because then I couldn't install in-place for
multiple architechtures.

I'm perfectly comfortable with having multiple build directories, I use this
feature of configure all the time.  A clean-intermediate target (in addition
to a target to install the binaries locally) would be a fine thing, but I
don't consider it essential.

Thanks,
  vin
