I haven't tested that yet, I started testing arla some 30 minutes ago, except 
for the more-or-less pre-made arla you get with OpenBSD.

I know it says recommended about not doing like I did, but
still, in this case, the README shouldn't say:

- `./configure' in the source directory,

..if it causes trouble like this.

Whatever...
