Hi Rich,

I've had a look at several manpages today, and it seems that ls -al is quite
portable, so I'll go with that.

Yes, you can install it all the same, although there is hardly any benefit over
pre6. The script simply tries to do what you would do manually if you follow
the  instructions. Running the script will always be optional.

The only differences of the instructions to previous versions are the lack of
the --with-db-server configure switch and the refdbdrc template. The latter
used to be /usr/local/etc/refdb/refdbdrc.example, but now there are four
refdbdrc.<engine>.example files which are preconfigured for the database
engines. Use the template of your choice when creating refdbdrc. Due to this
change the --with-db-server configure switch is obsolete.

regards,
Markus
