[Click] Build Clicky with non-root permissions?

[Bart Braem]

Hi Eddie,

My apologies for the delay, things are quite busy with my PhD...

After installing Click (with the prefix argument) it works, thanks for the advice!
The updated click-pretty does the job perfectly, thanks a lot for this quick patch. Now it is a lot easier to determine what happens where, I really like this feature. An unknown Click script will never have secrets again :-)

Thanks!
Bart
