FYI: install-sh

[Akim Demaille]

It appears that the version of install-sh that CVS Autoconf ships is
better than Automake's.  I propose that all these tools now belong to
Automake, in the sense that master copies are in Automake.

Then it should be displayed in a comment somewhere in these files.
Supporting --version/--help might be good too.  The only concern I
have is wrt to the license: I'm not sure how to put in words the fact
that `this copy/version of a public domain program is maintained in
Automake'.
