Actually, bsdinst is just a wrapper which removes '-c' from the command
line, and deletes the destination file...  But I apologize for the tone
of my earlier post...

However, I think this debate is steering us away from the fact that we
need a coherent set of packaging tools, and Irix's are a good place to
start...

FWIW, the TIFF distribution comes with an install.sh which is Irix and
BSD savvy...
