[OpenAFS-devel] autoconf dislikes AIX install

autoconf has a default check for the system install, but it is 
apparently biased against the AIX version of install, as line 1063 of 
configure.in shows.  How do we want to handle this?  If we let it 
determine ${INSTALL} itself, it will drop out to the default install-sh 
script.  Is this sufficient?  I haven't tested building completely this 
way, but wanted to run it by you folks.

Also, if we use this method, ${INSTALL_DATA} becomes '${INSTALL} -m 
644'.  In src/config/Makefile.config.in there is a variable INSTALLex 
that doesn't appear to be used as far as I can tell, but it is set to 
'${INSTALL} -m 755'.  What should we do with this?  Override 
INSTALL_DATA to set permissions to 755?
