The project is distributed as a massive superbuild so that users won't need
to install the many dependencies by hand and so that all developers will be
working from the same environment. They wanted to be able to use an
external python to reduce build time on QC regression-test builds, but keep
as much of the build environment as possible the same.

As I understand it, anyway -- my task is just to get this working ;)

So is this a bug, or am I missing something? I wasn't expecting the install
step to touch files outside of the configured prefixes.
