Ack. The way that autoconf handles the install-sh script is broken. It
sets the INSTALL variable to a relative path, relative to the
directory containing the file in which INSTALL is substituted.

If you're generating each directory's Makefile from a Makefile.in,
this works fine, but GRASS' Makefiles include these definitions from
include/Make/Platform.make. So, configure defines INSTALL relative to
include/Make/Platform.make, so it doesn't work if you are more or less
than two levels deep.

You can get around this by manually setting INSTALL to an absolute
path, e.g.:

	make INSTALL=`pwd`/install-sh

Also, the Makefile was setting incorrect permissions on install-sh
(744 instead of 755), so it was only executable for the owner.
