It doesn't explicitly check for BSD compatibility; instead, it assumes
that versions of "install" in certain directories are inherently bad,
and looks for "dspmsg" in others - if it finds it, it assumes it's the
AIX version, which doesn't work.
Perhaps the AIX 4.3 version doesn't have "dspmsg" in it, and therefore
isn't recognized as being the AIX "install".
