Sorry, I'll be leaving in the next hour, but for the above, did you  
mean './Build fakeinstall'?

As long as you're moving everything into /lib (which I fully support),  
we should consider hard_coding scripts into bp_foo.PLS syntax seeing  
as we're going through additional trouble of converting them over.   
That is, unless there is a specific purpose to keeping them without  
the 'bp_'.
