I encountered a problem installing jed on Mac OSX due to the fact that it has a case-insensitive filesystem; the 'install' target was seen as complete by make due to the existence of the INSTALL file. The attached patch marks the toplevel phony targets with .PHONY and should prevent this. -- The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws [that have no remedy for evils]. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. -- Cesare Beccaria, "On Crimes and Punishments", 1764
