Yes. The Surf I've documented is installed by the surf package. The more
experience I get with Surf, the more I believe that the package should
be installed only as a "hello world" exercise, but later uninstalled
and replaced by a custom configured make_clean;make;make_install
installation. All Suckless Tools software is configured by modifying
the config.h file and then recompiling, meaning that the user can't
modify any behavior the package bestows.
