[bug-inetutils] [PATCH] Bogus "install" error messages and man pages installation

[Anderson Lizardo]

Hi,

When I use configure options like --disable-rsh, --disable-rcp and 
--disable-rlogin, I receive this message

/bin/install: too few arguments
Try `/bin/install --help' for more information.
INSTALL-ERROR:
INSTALL-ERROR: THIS PROGRAM() MUST BE INSTALLED SETUID ROOT
INSTALL-ERROR: /bin/install -c  -o root -m 4775 /usr/bin/
INSTALL-ERROR:

When executing "make install". Although the above programs are indeed 
not installed, this message seems bogus, like make trying to install a 
program even if it is disabled.

I've attached a patch that fixes this problem (note: not all 
Makefile.in's were patched, only for those programs that were clearly 
displaying the above message when disabled). As a "side effect" of this 
patch, only the manpages for programs actually being installed are 
installed by default. The old default behaviour of installing all 
manpages regardless the services being disabled can be achieved by 
using the "make install-data" command.

Thank you for this great piece of software,
