Hi Phil,

on building the current SIP snapshot, I would suggest /usr/local/bin
as the default sip location to be consistent with the former build 
process and with PyQt defaults. Also, I used to generate such stuff
as an ordinary user, which is unpossible, if the target is generated 
in place (and obsoletes the make install step, too):

g++  -o /usr/bin/sip main.o transform.o gencode.o versions.o heap.o 
parser.o lexer.o
/usr/i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot open output file /usr/bin/sip: 
Keine Berechtigung
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [/usr/bin/sip] Error 1

Update: same goes for PyQt. It tries to install the libraries during
make, and tries to build pyuic in place.

OTOH, congrats for the whole thing making huge steps forward to an
absolutely awesome project.
