Thank you for that feedback, Todd.  That reinforces my belief that
install-sh shouldn't be in the distribution tarball.  

Whether or not /usr/ucb/install is found and used is not something we
control.  That's built-in behavior from autoconf.  If you really,
really want this fixed, you want to tell them.  They may surprised to
hear there are versions of Solaris for which /usr/ucb/install works
just fine.  Eyeballing the configure script, it looks like they
assume /usr/ucb is poison.
