Ah, that's fun.  Two solutions I think: 1) modify the installer so it
does rm -rf on the temporary install sandbox on startup, 2) modify the
Makefile so it checks if it's already a directory and then doesn't try
mkdir.  I think #1 is probably safer - it's not really a good idea to
install into a messy install sandbox anyway.
