        (this is based on the 3.2.1 version of PCP)

        I have had the pleasure of using the wonderful install system
shipped with PCP.  It has been flexible and easy to use.

        Infinband pmda and cluster pmda have been split from the main
pcp tree. PCP installs /usr/include/pcp/builddefs (builddefs.install)
which is used by subsequent builds of pmdas.  Builddefs defines the
INSTALL variable which currently points to an install-sh inside the
original pcp build tree (using TOPDIR which is not set by the pmdas).
The original pcp build tree may not available to the builder of * pmda,
if they install PCP from rpm but build the pmdas on the system (perhaps
to update ofed support).  PMDAs currently don't use $INSTALL, but depend
on the existance and functionality of the target systems "install"
command.

        I propose that install-sh be installed in $(PCP_BINADM_DIR) and
the installed builddefs define INSTALL=$(PCP_BINDADM_DIR)/install-sh.
