  "/usr/ucb/install" would be in my path, but for some reason we also
have a "/usr/sbin/install" which is ahead of it in my environment.  I
suspect the latter is incompatible.  (I'm not the sysadmin here, so
I don't why we have two different install programs, but I can see from
their response to illegal options that they are clearly different.)  I
have the GNU tools ahead of almost everything else in my PATH variable,
so I presume I'll see no further problems so long as install from
the GNU fileutils is present.  Perhaps another workaround would be to
have the Solaris configuration specifically reference "/usr/ucb/install".
