Attempting to install cinepaint-0.19-0 failed with:

install -c -o root -g root -m 444 ./big
/usr/share/cinepaint/0.19-0/brushes/big
install: `./big' is a directory

There are two issues.

You use install without -c switch by default which
means "mv". That works sometimes. Why move the files
from the source code? That is wrong.

The second issue is that configure allows defining
INSTALL_DATA. And that is what I did.

Please use the -c switch as the default. And please
don't move files from the source (just copy instead).

I see that brushdata is defined via configure with:

brushdata=`ls -1 $srcdir/data/brushes | grep -v
Makefile |grep -v CVS`

As a workaround, will it hurt anything if I move (or
copy) the
data/brushes/big/NS1-Charcoal.??.gbr to data/brushes/
before the
configure (and get rid of "big" from that list)?
