Build bug and execution bug

Hi Ben,

Yes, I know that.  The reason you do that is so you can stage an install
and roll it up for multiple installs.  So, "make install DESTDIR=$stagedir"
should work.  It does not.  Anyhow, that is a minor issue.  The major,
incapacitating issue is that I simply cannot get RemoteForward to work.
I cannot figure out how to debug the problem, either.  *ANY* hints would
be extremely welcome.  I am currently completely unable to work.

Thank you. - Bruce
