[bug #62214] Building from source on Debian auto-installs outdated version

[Anton Ertl]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #62214 (project gforth):

When you build Gforth from the git sources, it uses an existing (outdated)
Gforth in various places.  That's why it's in the install dependencies.

When you build Gforth from the tarball, you don't need an existing Gforth. 
Maybe we should deliver the tarball with an install-deps.sh that does not
install gforth.

The way I set up my system is to install the new gforth in /usr/local, and
have /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin in the path.
