Blitz Devel : |

Hi Reid,
I think the rationale behind the current installation scheme
is to install all Blitz files directly below the chosen prefix,
rather than creating an additional Unix-like directory hierarchy
there. The expectation is that the user will choose as their
prefix something like /usr/local/tools/Blitz, not /usr/local.
Also, the benchmark and example codes are present merely for
reference. They are not needed as part of the installation.
I think the approach here is fairly consistent with how other
shareware tools are installed (c.f. mpich). I suppose the
benchmark and example areas could be grouped together under a
share subdirectory, but I see no strong advantage to doing that.
Regards, Julian C.
