ok.

We fixed a number of big things with version 0.5.8, so I don't think
it's a good idea to use 0.5.7. It shouldn't be difficult for you to do
0.5.8 if you can do 0.5.7. The only thing that's changed with respect
to compilation of DOLFIN between 0.5.7 and 0.5.8 is that we
introduced a new make target called 'demo'. Just doing 'make' no
longer compiles the examples in the src/demo directory. This is to
keep things more light-weight --- there are many examples that take a
long time to compile and the total sum of all generated binaries is
quite large. Anyway, you probably don't want to package the
demos. (Maybe at some point, there can be a separate dolfin-demo
package, but that package should probably just contain the source.)
