Makefile.in ignores @INSTALL@

           Summary: Makefile.in ignores @INSTALL@
           Product: Xerces-C++
           Version: 2.1.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Build
        AssignedTo: xerces-c-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bzeeb@zabbadoz.net


While installing on FreeBSD I found that Makefile.in always uses
CP from Makefile.incl instead of using @INSTALL@ from configure.

As configure scripts already check for the best installer on the
system one should use it and not ${CP}.

On FreeBSD there is a special problem because Makefile.incl uses

ifeq (${PLATFORM}, FREEBSD)
CP = -cp -p

If one compiles as user and installes as root files will not be
chowned but get installed with uid from the user who compiled.

Easy fix for this is to remove -p under FreeBSD but one should
really switch and use @INSTALL@ in Makefile.in.
