I vote for replacing all references to pinstall with the standard
Autoconf-generated @INSTALL@ stuff (which uses the system install program
if it's capable enough and otherwise falls back on install-sh) and then
nuking it.  Note, however, that it's a bit of a project since standard
install and pinstall have different semantics when given exactly two
arguments.

I'm willing to do it, though, if people agree.  I love eliminating
duplicate and unnecessary cruft.  :)
