Should we also document that -m is suppose to be src's etc dir instead
of src?  I've accidentally pointed -m at src, and then it does a make
which is quite ammuzing as it's completely the wrong thing...  Or now
that we call outside of /etc, should we make -m really point to src,
and have the proper calls add etc to the directory?
