Hi!

I had very funny problems with "make install" of the
CVS version. The clue was a bit strange behavior of bash
(/bin/sh is only a link in my debian).  

The whole thing is about wildcard expansion: there's an 
option called nocaseglob. I never heard of it before, 
but this was the cause for the Error 1 while make install.
I don't know, what is the default of this option in 
bash, but in my computer shows different behaviour with
interactive shells and non interactives.

I had to make a patch, qiute trivial, in src/bin/pgaccess/Makefile.
I changed the language-installer line so it checks whether it
doesn't really try to copy the CVS subdirectory as a language...

If anyone is interested in it, here's the patch:
