12When rebuildng, a separate command that may be used if only minor changes
13are made to the sources is <userinput>make Everything</userinput>. This does
14not automatically remove generated files and only rebuilds those files or
15programs that are out of date.

22These commands are present to enable other (broken) packages to build
23against XFree86. We do this even though the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
24says:
25"In general, software must not be installed or managed via the above
26symbolic links. They are intended for utilization by users only."
