Summary:                    make install fails when GNU install missing
Description: 
I am marking this as a portability bug.  Even though this problem could
exist on Linux, the fact that the "install" binary is provided by GNU
coreutils means that a Linux system would have to be pretty broken not to
have it.  So this problem will only manifest on systems where coreutils is
not installed, or the "install" binary is otherwise missing.

The build system creates an install-sh drop-in replacement if the
"install" binary is missing.  However, the path to the script is referenced
as ./ which causes subdirectories to break when calling for the install-sh
script.

The variable for INSTALL is populated in makeopts so this might actually
be a problem with menuselect.  One workaround I used was to fully qualify
the path to the install-sh script.
