>Description:
I have some Makefiles originally destined for a System V system which
use "install -u user" to set the owner of the files during install.
Instead of hacking the Makefiles again and again after every CVS update,
I prefer to let install(1) recognize the -u option as synonymous to -o.

See fix section for my patch.
