Yeah --- Bruce did not adjust the string length calculations when he
editorialized on the directory name. I'd been meaning to go back and
make them match.

[ shrug... ] The name is not going to change again. I have never cared
for the practice of writing strlen("foo") as if it were a compile-time
constant. But certainly it would be entirely pointless to define such a
macro and then use it in only one place.
