AC_PROG_INSTALL does not trigger install-sh availability

[Jan Engelhardt]

Hi,


using a configure.ac file with just four lines:

AC_INIT([foo], [1])
AC_PROG_INSTALL
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT

I can produce a configure script by running `autoreconf -fi`, however, 
running the then-created ./configure leads to:

configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "." 
"./.." "./../.."

On IRC it was suggested to add in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE; however, I am not 
planning on using automake for this sample.
Why did autoreconf not copy install-sh? This looks a little like a bug. 
:)


thanks,
Jan
