I think it was because it reduced the list of files from three
replications to two. I did not notice the .ONESHELL; it also explains
the oddity that I saw with @ behavior.
With the .ONESHELL removed, we can further simplify INSTALL_SINGLE_RULE
by removing the @echo rsync and the at-sign before rsync.

I think you didn't miss anything and that you're right. Could you
submit a patch to remove the spaces? I can then submit a patch to
further simplify INSTALL_SINGLE_RULE if you don't want to do that, too.
Thanks!
