Usually configure scripts are passed a macro INSTALL that expands
to "/usr/bin/install -c -o ${BINOWN} -g ${BINGRP}".  There are also
more specific INSTALL_{PROGRAM,MAN,SCRIPT,...} macros.  If configure
doesn't pick them up, they can be referenced as BSD_INSTALL_* later.
You should try to make use of these definitions.

A new port should be changed to support FAKE.

Well, does it need a per-host configuration?  If it does, this
sounds like a candidate for IS_INTERACTIVE.
