From 192858e86965e680edd2b171392e2d5fa694b87d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sheldon Hearn Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2003 16:11:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Better explain what INSTALL="install -C" does, and warn that this may be hardwired into makefiles, including those under /usr/share/mk. The reporter submitted a patch, but I've watered it down.
