 Steve,

 It seems that the new make rules do not build the binkit anymore
when
 you use the "binkit" rule.  You have to explicitly say: 
...
 make $STAGING/pcl-cvs-1.34-pkg.tar.gz 
...
 for example.  Is this intentional? 
"binkit" wasn't ever intended to be a visible rule.  It was created so 
that individual Makefiles could specify their own installation
sequence[1].  The "bindist" rule is the one to be using to create tarballs.
