Thanks very much Calixte.

This is an embarrassing question: What is my SCI dir?  Under scilab-4.x
there was a scilab-4.x directory under /usr/local/lib which contained
everything that was the result of the build.

But under 5.3.0 things are spread out. Anyway, modules are in
/usr/local/share/scilab/modules, but there's no Makefile in there.

So in the source (build) directory,
/usr/local/src/scilab-master-1286272063/modules, I did `make install'
and the .bin, lib, and, names file got installed in
/usr/local/share/scilab/modules.

They had already been built during the build, but for some reason they
didn't get installed when I did `make install' in
/usr/local/src/scilab-master-1286272063

On another machine on which I did _exactly_ the name build procedure,
all the module binaries got installed correctly.  Is this is a bug?
