Wouldn't it make much more sense to have a switch in the Makefile,
which says *if* we have a libexec/ directory?
No, it wouldn't, because then we can't use a different release of the
git-tools without re-compiling the potty.
True, but *please* stop calling "git wrapper" a potty.  It gives
me an impression that it is not connected to the plumbing.

I do not do Porcelain, but I do not do plastics nor glass either
;-).

Thanks.

Aww... And here I was being quite pleased with this wording in the man-page:

"The program git is just a wrapper to reach the core git programs (or  a 
potty if  you like, as it's not exactly porcelain but still brings your 
stuff to the plumbing)."

Oh man.  So, do we have to go with "kitchen sink" instead? ;-)
