Sorry, I wasn't very clear (and didn't respond fast because I was 
sleeping :).

The easiest way is probably to build from a configuration. So you start 
with:

tla get address@hidden/dists--tla--1.3 tla-1.3
cd tla-1.3
tla build-config tla-short-path.cfg
cd src
mkdir +build
cd +build
../configure --with-short-paths=1
        (optionally --prefix=/usr/local or whatever)
make
make test
make install (if you want)

These are the normal steps to build tla, so I didn't repeat them. You 
will also need to have registered the official tla archive, since I only 
modify one portion of it.

So you will probably also need to
tla register-archive
