Description
This program installs programs from the directory in which they were compiled into system directories. It is similar to /etc/install, but conforms to the syntax of the BSD version of /etc/install, and calls the System V version to do its work.
Productivity
Makes it easier to compile and run programs that come from a BSD heritage since the install lines in the Makefiles do not need to be changed
Safety
Examined code
Work Planned
None
Verification
Read the BSD man page for install(8), then try installing something.


Note that all this source is configured to be installed under /usr/skunk. To build it for a different location, compile with make CTRBDESTDIR=directory.
