+# FIXME: sysinfo.gap refactoring:
+# - split GAP_CPPFLAGS and move parts of them to GAP_INCLUDE_FLAGS,
+# to make them easier to adjust for installation?
+# - get rid of GAP_OBJS by removing the "static link" feature from gac;
+# i.e., retain comp_static but don't let it go till linking
+# - rename GAParch (but keep it for backwards compat)
+# - because of GAParch, we can't actually install sysinfo.gap into $prefix/lib
+# it seems we may need at least two root dirs for installations, too;
+# one which contains "sysinfo.gap" and other arch dependent files, and
+# which is where one points configure scripts at; and one which contains
+# the stuff which is portable; say
+# GAP_BIN_DIR=$prefix/lib/gap/ contains sysinfo.gap, gap, gac
+# GAP_LIB_DIR=$prefix/share/gap/ contains doc, grp, lib, ...
+# Note how "lib" means two different things above...
+#
+# So far, we can still "model" this quite well with sysinfo.gap; but I
+# wonder if one day we might need to add provisions for more than two GAPROOTs ?
