Hi Akim,
I suppose, but I'm not sure, that this is in order to let some
tools postprocess the logs of a "make install".
I've never heard of any, but what do I know. I rather suspect it's
because of different install programs behaved differently, back in the
1980's.
install-sh already does the right thing,
Right, but do our configure scripts typically check if
install FILE1 FILE2 ... DIR
works, as one criteria for whether install-sh is used?
If so, I can't see any reason to avoid the multiple-file invocation.
If not, it seems like that needs to be done first?
Thanks,
k
