I'ill try compiling 'install' (i don't know where the sources are)

It's in 'coreutils' these days, but that package includes a lot of stuff.

Maybe you could get away with just using the script-version of install
which comes with coreutils itself (because it'll need an install tool
to use before 'install' itself is installed..).

I'm attaching a copy. To use it it should be sufficient to use
INSTALL=path-to/install-sh make install
or something like that.

I wonder if it would be better to simply include fallback portable
install-sh in git sources.

BTW. shouldn't we define and use INSTALL_D in Makefile?

I think so about the install-sh, but about the Makefiles I wonder if
it's not better to reuse current INSTALL, maybe if install-sh is used,
then there is no need for using other 'install' program, excepting the
case in wich the user sets INSTALL commandline.

Blessing,
