[Coco] Compiling LWTOOLS - root ?

[Patrick Ulland]

Lots of sudo advice is taken out of context. In a commercial (not 
development) systems, sudo is very important, users can’t do ANYTHING 
unless they are in a short list of folks granted an even shorter list of 
commands.

  In a regular Linux distro, default user can sudo anything - try ‘sudo 
bash’. So it’s only a password check now, might as well su once for the 
whole task. Just turn the light off when done:-)
