That's certainly something one could argue as a problem worth working
around.
In that case, I'd really like to make this behaviour in the build
optional so that it's easy for FreeBSD developers to easily identify
stale includes.
Perhaps I could replace all instances of the -C option to install(8)
with ${INSTALLCOPY} and have INSTALLCOPY default to -C?
Ciao,
