+There is a race condition when running 
+
+    $ make install.libs install.includes
+    
+As both targets install identical files. The remedy is to either prevent
+parallel make of install.libs and install.includes, or ensure only one 
+target installs the files. 
+The second approch will only work if we always install both libs and 
+includes (which we do).
