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.

Buchan
