Details:

Since install-sh is now being installed as part of autoconf, we should make
sure to install the latest version rather than whichever version was used when
bootstrapping autoconf itself.

The build-aux/fetch.pl script is already supposed to fetch the latest version,
but install-sh is listed in .gitignore so any updates are discarded when
starting from a clean tree.

Indeed the automake repository contains some changes to install-sh that are
missing in the autoconf-2.64d tarball.
