same applies to flmake: setup just creates symbolic links to  the source
files. So your changes of those files and will not be lost if you rerun
setup in any case.

Btw, I'm not sure how you use flmake now, but the preferred work-flow
with flmake  would be to to make a copy of the simulation directory
(e.g.  $FLASH_SOURCE/source/Simulation/SimulationMain/Sedov) under
./simulations/Sedov in your working directory,  before running setup.
This way all subsequent changes of the source files occur locally and
not under the FLASH tree.
