Thank you, this is very useful information. Wouldn't this be useful in the 
INSTALL files? or maybe it's already there. I might want to keep one previous 
version just in case, but no other.

Should I do "make uninstall" for the previous version after I install the new 
version, or before, or it doesn't matter?

Thanks everyone for your help!
