A new version of the patch is in preparation.
Indeed - I don't have root access on the machine in question, so
installing a RPM is not an option. Apart from that - keeping a
dependency on coreutils just to have ginstall available does not seem
such a good idea. Anyway - the patch allows changing to ginstall simply
by changing the INSTALLDIR variable.
