[Nagiosplug-devel] User defined in make install

[Voon, Ton]

My point was to try and use some method where "the work of supporting all
different OSes is done by someone else".

That's why it is currently using the INSTALL_OPTS variable in configure.in,
so the autoconf owners make use it works everywhere, not the plugin team.
However, I recognise there are limitations in this method, so I look forward
to your patch. But if you can parlay off someone else's code, all the
better.

That would be
chown user file; chgrp group file

I'll do that then. I expect to have a patch ready sometime thursday or 
friday.
