I like to suggest in the future version hobbit, the configure and makefile
should be design
to generate server,client and proxy binaries into different paths.

Example like following,

/opt/hobbit-server
      bin
      doc
      man
      etc
/opt/hobbit-client
     bin
     man
     doc
/opt/hobbit-proxy
     bin
     man
     doc

This will help software packagers  to create packages for different OS
platforms.

I already separate hobbit and hobbit-client in the RPMS for Mandriva (which I
rebuild for RHEL also). The only problem is that you may end up with
duplicate binaries (eg bb). What I have done in this case is made hobbit
depend on hobbit-client, so I can avoid duplicates.

I'll see if I can get this done in the make file instead of the spec file.

I hope this paths serperation can be done in ./configure script(although not autoconf's ./configure)
When "./configure --server" got specified, a makefile should be generated to compile
and installed into a relative path for server binary only. the tight to "hobbit" as root (/opt/hobbit,/usr/hobbit) for server package very restrictive, and "./configure --server" also
gernating client binaries at same time is confusing.
