Hi, I was wondering why install-sh does not support the BSD install -C option (install file, unless target already exists and is the same as the new file). I consider this option quite useful, especially since automake uses install-sh whenever you install header files prefixed with nobase_ (see my bug report in GNATS database, #475). So, I cooked up this patch (see attachment) for install-sh. I have no idea whether it meets your quality standards, since this is the very first patch I'm uploading. Please send feedback (positive or negative), so I can learn. Kind regards, Marcel Loose.
