0.153, a few things

[Faried Nawaz <silence-goo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

The gremlins appear to have taken cvs down again.

I'm running goo on FreeBSD.  FreeBSD's "install" doesn't have the -D flag,
which is used in c/Makefile and src/Makefile.  -D creates subdirectories, so
if you have an empty /dest/dir and you do

install -c -D foo/bar/blah/thing.c /dest/dir/foo/bar/blah/thing.c

The install code creates /dest/dir/foo/bar/blah before copying thing.c over.

It appears that the install-sh script that ships with goo has code that
obviates the need for -D:

% ls /tmp/foo
ls: /tmp/foo: No such file or directory
% ./install-sh -c -m 0644 install-sh /tmp/foo/bar/goo/install-me
% ls /tmp/foo/bar/goo
install-me
% 

I'm willing to bet most other "install"s don't have -D either.  Something
like this in configure.in might help:

I'm not sure what to put in the Makefile.in files, though.
