Change the prefix in gar.conf.mk and install there. Then change your startup
scripts. That way, you can go back to the old version if you need to.

I'd strongly recommend building the latest 0.17.x, as that is the latest in
the 2.0.x stable series, not the 2.1.x devel series. Plus it builds without
a lot of fartarsing around. :-)

Aye, but when you find bugs, bug-buddy is your bestest friend! Please make
sure you build with -g. You'll have to go searching to turn that off anyway.
