[PATCH 05/10] install: check for non-SysV version (Solaris support)

Solaris ships a program called "install" in /usr/sbin, which performs a
task that's fairly similar to the GNU and BSD "install" programs but
which uses very different command line arguments.  In particular, if it
is invoked without "-c", "-f", or "-n", it will search the target
directory for a file with the same name as the one being installed, and
it will only install the file if it finds a matching name.  More
excitingly, if it doesn't find a match, it will look in /bin, /usr/bin,
/etc, /lib, and /usr/lib and try to do the same there.

The standard workaround for this is to use GNU install.
It is available via the standard Solaris packaging system (in
"file/gnu-coreutils"), and installs itself as /usr/bin/ginstall.

This patch adds a check to "configure" to see if "install" behaves in a
way that's compatible with GNU and BSD install, and if not, it uses a
program called "ginstall" instead.  It also modifies "configure" to set
the $(INSTALL) variable, and changes various Makefiles to use it.
