I think this kind of misses the point (though I haven't seen the
changes): even now, I can easily avoid problems if I remember to do the
appropriate magic -- but I don't _want_ to have to remember, I just want
to say `make install' and have it do the right thing.

Since I _never_ want to install these aliases, some setting in Config to
suppress the installation of them would be much more convenient for me
(you can make the default whatever you want, though I think having the
aliases is somewhat dangerous).

Thanks,
