This works for a single installation only.
If I need to test several copies of GS, each of which includes different
changes to lib
but same version number, this doesn't work.
Perhaps this situation regularly arises during the development.
Right now I have copies of 7.10 (CVS HEAD) - one configured with FAPI (see
lib/FAPIconfig)
but another one is not.

I believe that -I argument is already done for this purpose.
