Ehi, I am not saying let's switch to install.scm as the default
installer (not for now at least). My proposition is: let's bundle
install.scm in the tarball and let's give the user an extra chance to
have a BSD-compatible install program. On some systems, Solaris 11 for
example, you don't have one in the default installation and the
current default (ginstall) is rather unlikely. That's it.
