I'm paranoid, and keep all versions of exim on the system

my home directory has a subdir called __INSTALLS

and looks something like this:

__INSTALLS
    exim
        exim4.30
            SOURCE
                exim4.30 src
                sa exim patch src
                exiscan acl patch src
            WORKING
                exim4.30 build dir -- includes all working files, src/EDITME is cp
to local/Makefile to preserve info
            CONFIG
                versions of /usr/exim/configure and referenced files
        exim4.24
            same as above


I do that for all the apps i install. I should probably better manage
this with svn, but this works for me.
