Modified Files:
build-system
Log Message:
After some thought, I've decideed that in many cases you do want to
install a bunch of files the same way, using a make variable to
specify the files. Recommend a single install command instead of a
for loop, so someone cut and pasting from a "make -n install" won't
have to fire up a Bourne shell.
Add mention of letcdir, since we have a local configuration directory
as well as local binary and local system binary directories.
An apparent shell bug on Solaris and Irix prevents us from using the
construct
lsbindir=${lsbindir-'${sbindir}'}
because it adds a '}' to the end of lsbindir if it's already set.
Recommend a nearly equivalent construct involving test.
