Re: How to uninstall dri?

I propose that we should have something like "make dry-run" or something  
like that where a user can see exactly what'll be overwritten before they  
run "make install". It would solve things like this.

I'm not a developer, so I don't know how tough this would be. Please slam  
my idea to the ground of it is a horrible one - the last thing we need are  
horrible ideas circulating. :)
