Autoconf upstream has this to say about the install-sh error:

> And you should be aware that if a configure script
> crashes with an error about not finding install-sh, this actually
> means you need to add config.sub and config.guess to the source tree
> as well. (A patch for that one is in the works. autoreconf --install
> will correct the problem for packages that use automake, but not
> otherwise.)
