No.  I was unsuccessful with that, unfortunately.  I thought I followed 
the examples correctly, but that routine never compiled.  So I commented 
it out. Heh.  At least they install correctly.

There's no need for that.  I think I used that structure only because 
that's the way your .zip file was structured.  I did it mostly that way 
to make sure I got everything.  You're right, the location of the 
install files is mostly irrelevant.  So whatever structure works well is 
fine.

This seems to be common practice, though I don't really understand why 
either.
