Synopsis: change in install(1) breaks installation of port

State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed
State-Changed-By: andreas
State-Changed-When: Thu Jul 18 00:57:49 PDT 2002
State-Changed-Why: 
I analyzed the problem.
Our skeleton etc/defaults/make.conf
still has the lines
# Compare before install
#INSTALL=install -C
in it, what erraneously implies, that you still can use this
option in -STABLE.
If you don't read src/UPDATING you trapp into the problem
that some of your ports don't install cleanly anymore.
A complete solution would be, to remove those lines
from the skeleton files in -current and all FreeBSD
releases after this change to xinstall.c
has been introduced (2002/06/05 17:37:48;).
I assigned this PR to you ru, since you introduced the
change in xinstall.c, hope thats o.k. for you.
If you don't have the time, drop me a note, then I will
do this cosmetic, but important fix.
