I can look at adding--family option (atm. for running ynl in-tree).

One thing I wasn't sure about (due to lacking install target) was whether
you intend to run ynl always from linux tree.

If you're open to adding 'install' target, I think that should be something
to look at as well. It would make packaging less fragile, as I'm currently
handling all that on spec side.
