859	'make splint' needs graceful failure message	jkeenan		"Tonight I tried this command, which was recommended in TT #443:
{{{
$ make splint | ack reserved
}}}
This was the output I got:
{{{
mkdir /splint: Permission denied at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.0/ExtUtils/Command.pm line 259
make: *** [splint] Error 13
}}}
My guess is that I have to install some library or application to get `splint` to work.  However, we should have a more graceful error message that tells the user exactly what went wrong and what to do to remedy the situation.

Thank you very much.[[BR]]
