	Slickness.  Do all SLES10 versions, including GA, support this?
I hope so, it means we never have to create vendor/sles10.

	You still need to run configure in the outer tree, because that
is what substitutes @VERSION@ etc.  That's all it does, however.  The
vendor trees, as you probably have noted, are designed to run "make
packages" on any system, regardless of where configure was run.
