Right, I know that "export" can do that, but I hadn't thought of
exporting the working copy every time I update it as part of normal
development. Shouldn't it work to build and install from the working
copy? How is everyone else doing it?

I'll admit that this is a very specific use case, affecting only
developers, but adding the -f shouldn't hurt in any case. That's what
the "install" command does anyway when it's installing all the other
files.
