As an aside, this has just reminded me of something that bugs me a
little - to build just the client or just the server you have to specify
the path to the parcel as the make target (e.g. make
parcels/boxbackup_$release_client_$os.tgz), whereas with the install
targets we have nice, friendly "install-backup-client" and
"install-backup-server" targets.

If I submitted a ticket with a patch to create a more friendly build
target, would it likely be accepted?
