  The problem I see with this is that how they are included in
users makefiles changes. In one case you 
have 
include PETSC_DIR/conf/base
in the other case (installed case)
include PETSC_DIR/$PETSC_ARCH/lib/petsc/base
one of the goals of this change is to continue to 
user identical user makefiles in either case.
