The project preference always has been to replace #!/usr/bin/$prog
when installing to match the system's path, without having to assume
that "env" is available and is installed in /usr/bin/

We are not installing this thing (yet), so how about giving an
instruction to run "perl contrib/contacts/git-contacts", only
assuming that the user is intelligent enough to be able to react to
"perl: not found" by installing it on their path?
