In my case, I was seeing a '-s' argument in INSTALL_PROGRAM, but
not in INSTALL_SCRIPT...so that's why I made the patch I did (and,
I assumed, the reason for the distinction between INSTALL_PROGRAM &
INSTALL_SCRIPT).
That would typically be the difference between the two on systems that have a (BSD-compatible) install command. (Other systems may use cpset etc.)
