The install-sh shipped with Python 2.2.3c1 is out of
date with respect
to the canonical install-sh shipped with Automake.  The
Automake version has fixed a few portability bugs
having to do with spaces in directory names, the
unportable use of "[ ... -o ... ]", and the like.

The simplest fix is to copy automake/lib/install-sh
into Python.  I'll also try to attach a patch below.

Sorry, its too late to fix this for Python 2.2.3.  Setting
resolution to Later for consideration in 2.2.4.

Thanks for the patch. Applied as install-sh 2.5 and 2.4.24.1.
