While trying git out on Solaris 8, the 'make install' step failed because
I don't have a 'ginstall' command. After puzzling over it for a while,
I finally figured out that
a) it's referring to the 'install' command that is now part of the
GNU coreutils package, and
b) it's probably unnecessary, as using the Solaris install command
gave me the same results. (However, I didn't do anything fancy,
so it may be that in some scenarios using 'ginstall' matters.
I didn't do anything other than a very simple test.)
Anyway, this patch documents it a tiny bit more. Perhaps configure
should just go looking for a suitable install program instead of
assuming everyone has one.
