I did this too quickly.  I goofed.  The 'named-bootconf' program would
NOT be installed by now!

Instead of all this, just do:

9.  nothing
10. ./bin/named-bootconf/named-bootconf < /etc/named.boot > /etc/named.conf
11. /sbin/init.d/named stop
[or whatever - 'kill `cat /etc/named.pid`' works for a lot of sites]
12. make install
12a.cd /; /sbin/init.d/named start [or whatever]
