I think `make install' overwrites existing old installations is the
normal behaviour. Think of this, one do `cvs up' at times, and to
reinstall, simply `make install' will just be fine.
Also, in `src' sudir, you can find something like emacs-23.0.50.1,
emacs-23.0.50.2, etc, representing the executables built at different
time.
