Hmm... I will check makefiles today, but there is something wrong
here, take a look:

$ INSTALL=$HOME/bin/install-sh /usr/linux/bin/make
prefix=$HOME/.gitbin NO_OPENSSL=1 NO_TCLTK=1 NO_EXPAT=1
PYTHON_PATH=/usr/local/bin/python install
    SUBDIR perl
    SUBDIR git_remote_helpers
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
    SUBDIR templates
install -d -m 755 '/aplicaciones/D0/imei/usuarios/tximeid0/.gitbin/bin'
getopt: illegal option -- d
Usage: install [-c dira] [-f dirb] [-i] [-m] [-M mode] [-O owner]
               [-G group] [-S] [-n dirc] [-o] [-s] file [dirx ...]
make: *** [install] Error 2


It's not using install-sh since it supports -d ... and lets take a
quick look at Makefiles:

$ find . -name Makefile -exec grep install {} \; | grep -v "^#" | grep INSTALL
INSTALL?=install
INSTALL_INFO=install-info
INSTALL = install
        INSTALL = ginstall
        INSTALL = ginstall
        INSTALL = /usr/ucb/install
        INSTALL = /bin/install
        $(INSTALL) $(install_bindir_programs) '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(bindir_SQ)'
INSTALL ?= install
        INSTALL = install
INSTALL ?= install
INSTALL ?= install


It seems as if it's looking for /bin/install ... even when I wrote
'INSTALL=$HOME/bin/install-sh'

I have no more time, and will access the server next monday... but I'm
going home and may be i'ill take a look at this to know how to do it,
thanks 4 the script  ; )

Cheers,
Dario
