I have used the following script for installing packages with the "make
install" command.
The way this is written, if the file.exe exists in the destination then
the script will force the .exe onto the destination file. Otherwise the
destination ends up without the .exe.
This is fine for what I am doing as I will never execute these commands
unless I am in bash.
#!/bin/sh
# file: install

# Install Preprocessor for the gnu-win32 "make install" command.

# To use:
# mv /bin/install.exe /bin/ginstall
# copy this file to /bin/install

while test $# -gt 0; do \
if test -e $1.exe; then \
tstr="$tstr$1.exe "; else \
tstr="$tstr$1 "; \
fi; \
shift; \
done
echo "/bin/ginstall $tstr"
eval "/bin/ginstall $tstr"; \
exit
