Not all systems have install-sh in this location.  Other than on linux
systems,  add-on software usually gets installed in /usr/local/.

Running a program that aborts isn't really a good idea either.

Checking in install-sh seems the best of a bunch of bad choices.
That was the way one use to do it before this automake nightmare
came along.
