Summary: Unnecessary ${SHELL} in  INSTALL_STRIP_PROGRAM options

Initial Comment:
The presence in configure and configure.in of the unnecessary %{SHELL} means that attempts to use /usr/bin/install instead of install-sh fail miserably, and for no valid reason.

The patch is below:

Dang. There are other fascinating little interactions, that interfere at
least with installation as non-root users in various other ways.

The DAG RPM's get around this by completely ignoring the "make install"
option and doing it manually in the .spec files. It's a shame to have to do
that.
