Thanks Leif, I wasn't aware of that overriding possibility.

least to copy / install files), just like your custom `[sage-
dist-]install` mechanism relies on upstream respecting autotools'
conventions (and ''exclusively'' using `install[-sh]`) for such purposes.
.. and lets see what else `copy_file` is abused for. But I think, this
approach will finally cut it.
autotools uses $(INSTALL), which can be overriden with anything. also
others, otherwise broken make based build systems use $(INSTALL) and
$(INSTALLDIRS).
