Just typing 'install' will run /usr/bin/install. This is
a program that some makefiles use to copy files into
their final resting places.
If a packages has a script called install, chances are it
is just a replacement for /usr/bin/install for platforms
that have a broken (or missing) /usr/bin/install.
OTOH, there are some (mostly commercial) packages that install
with an install.sh script. You'll need to type
# ./install.sh
to run this, as the current directory is not (normally) on
the PATH in Unix (unlike DOS).
