Also, keep in my that this C install program has the extra feature of being able to install multiple files on one invocation, per suggestion from Tom Lane. This allows us to save the nested for-loop in src/include/Makefile. GNU install (available on my system) also has this capability, but would we be able to use the trick if we had to cater for the lowest common denominator found on other, non-GNU-enabled systems?
Why not check for GNU install in configure, and only enable the optimization if it is available?
