|     * lib/autoconf/programs.m4 (AC_PROG_INSTALL): Require that
|     `install -c file1 file2 dir' works.

Yes, please apply.  POSIX doesn't specify install, but this feature (and
its corresponding speedup) is comparable to cp, and is very much worth
requiring.

| +that creates @file{install} from it if there is no makefile.  Starting with
| +Autoconf 2.62, this macro requires @command{install} to be able to install
| +multiple files into a target directory.

Perhaps add: s/\./ in a single invocation./

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
