[postgis-devel] PostGIS 2.2.6, 2.3.4, and 2.4.1

[Paul Ramsey]

If your process starts with ./autogen.sh then you won't notice this
problem, because *your* call to glibtoolize will put install-sh into place.
If you start with ./configure however, you'll notice it. The configure-only
workflow exists because traditionally projects (a) didn't want to force
builders to install all the autotools and (b) autotools changed behaviour
enough that relying on whatever combo of autotools folks might have
resulted in unpredictable results compared to just including a pre-built
configure script in your tarball.
