One additional note: The cleanest ways seems to be the way
we go in nsis.mk, that is:

    $(INSTALL) -m755 '$(PREFIX)/$(TARGET)/bin/makensis' 
'$(PREFIX)/bin/$(TARGET)-makensis'

However, in case the mingw-utils package itself allows you
to install prefixed binaries, you should of course use their
mechanism instead. This is what we do in gcc.mk and binutils.mk,
for instance.
