I'm so sorry, but I feel compelled to speak out that the EPICS build
system is one of the more obscure, convoluted, and unfriendly to work
with as I have seen.  It makes packaging EPICS and related software
extremely difficult.  I would strongly advise against using it as a
prototype for other projects.
