Latest CVS expat sources on Cygwin

[Gerrit P. Haase]

Hallo expat-bugs,

building expat (from a checkout today) works without problems.
Only doing make install doesn't work if building oputside of the
sourcedir which is a requirement to be 'modern';)

These hardcoded targets in Makefile.in doesn't allow doing a
'make install' outside the sourcedir:

install: xmlwf/xmlwf lib/$(LIBRARY) lib/$(APIHEADER)
        $(mkinstalldirs) $(bindir) $(libdir) $(includedir)
        $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) xmlwf/xmlwf $(bindir)/xmlwf
        $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(INSTALL) lib/$(LIBRARY) $(libdir)/$(LIBRARY)
        $(INSTALL_DATA) lib/$(APIHEADER) $(includedir)
        $(INSTALL_DATA) doc/xmlwf.1 $(prefix)/man/man1

And also it is not possible to install into a special directory
Should look more like this:

install: xmlwf/xmlwf lib/$(LIBRARY) $(srcdir)/lib/$(APIHEADER)
        $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(bindir) $(DESTDIR)$(libdir) \
            $(DESTDIR)$(includedir) $(DESTDIR)$(mandir)
        $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) xmlwf/xmlwf $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/xmlwf
        $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(INSTALL) lib/$(LIBRARY) $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$(LIBRARY)
        $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/lib/$(APIHEADER) $(DESTDIR)$(includedir)
        $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/doc/xmlwf.1 $(DESTDIR)$(mandir)/man/man1


You're already using autoconf and libtool, why don't you use automake
too?  That would handle all that stuff.
