Details:

When building gv on a case-sensitive filesystem I see that, after running
"make", the src directory contains both "gv" (the gv binary) and "GV" (the
config file copied from GV.ad).

When building gv on a case-insensitive filesystem, of course only one of
these can exist at a time. On my system (a Power Mac G4 466 MHz with Mac OS X
10.5.4) the one that survives is the gv binary. But I have a report from
someone on whose system (a PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.5.3) the one that
survives is the GV config file. On both our systems, the file that survives
gets copied to both ${prefix}/bin/gv and ${prefix}/lib/gv/GV, so in both
cases, one of those files is the wrong one. In my case, the binary is
installed to the place where the config file should be, and in his case, the
config file gets installed to the place where the binary should be.

I recommend that the gv build process be changed so that there is not a case
collision so that gv can be properly built on all systems, even those with
case-insensitive filesystems (which is the default on all versions of Mac OS X
so far).
