+  dnl the following tries to resolve some signs and wonders coming up
+  dnl with different autoconf/automake versions
+  dnl e.g.:
+  dnl  *automake 1.4 install-strip sets A_M_INSTALL_PROGRAM_FLAGS to -s
+  dnl   and has INSTALL_PROGRAM = @INSTALL_PROGRAM@ $(A_M_INSTALL_PROGRAM_FLAGS)
+  dnl   it header-vars.am, so there the actual INSTALL_PROGRAM gets the -s
+  dnl  *automake 1.4a (and above) use INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG and only has
+  dnl   INSTALL_PROGRAM = @INSTALL_PROGRAM@ there, but changes the
+  dnl   install-@DIR@PROGRAMS targets to explicitly use that flag
+  dnl  *autoconf 2.13 is dumb, and thinks it can use INSTALL_PROGRAM as
+  dnl   INSTALL_SCRIPT, which breaks with automake <= 1.4
+  dnl  *autoconf >2.13 (since 10.Apr 1999) has not that failure
+  dnl to clean up that mess we:
+  dnl  +set INSTALL_PROGRAM to use INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG
+  dnl   which cleans KDE's program with automake > 1.4;
+  dnl  +set INSTALL_SCRIPT to only use INSTALL, to clean up autoconf's problems
+  dnl   with automake<=1.4
+  dnl  note that dues to this sometimes two '-s' flags are used
+    INSTALL_PROGRAM='${INSTALL} $(INSTALL_STRIP_FLAG)'
+    INSTALL_SCRIPT='${INSTALL}'
