+    + implemented 'install' option when building contribs
+      in standalone mode (aka when doing a partial [re]build).
+      Experimental, very lightly tested and the recommended
+      way remains to _avoid_ 'install' in all situations
+      and to use .hbc files to use packages.

-      NOTE: 'install' doesn't work when doing a partial [re]build
-            at this time. To work this around, simply avoid 'install'
-            completely, do a complete rebuild or copy the created
