Yes, I noticed. One needs to do something like

cp -r site-packages/dolfin_utils/wrappers local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dolfin_utils/

Yes, that would be good.

Is adding a make target, say 'install_dolfin_utils', an acceptable fix for this? Then one could do

    cmake $DOLFIN_SOURCE_DIR
    make install_dolfin_utils

to install dolfin_utils without building and installing the rest of DOLFIN.
