Seems like this issue gets more than its fair share of attention. I
started a round of discussion by pointing out that /usr/ucb/install worked
on Solaris while the default one didn't.
It's just not a complicated program and many other open-source packages
(like gcc I think) find it easier to just bundle a shell script rather than
decipher which existing program (if any) do what they want.
Go for it Tom (Lane).
Signature failed Preliminary Design Review.
Feasibility of a new signature is currently being evaluated.
