Note that I'm writing of a performance. Install-sh is a serious
performance hit for non-trivial installs.

You are writing of implementation and I am writing of policy. It might
be feasible to teach install how to use other strips, though. What do you

Note that autoconf 2.13 isn't an issue anymore, I think. Version 2.50 is
already released.
