cvs commit [HEAD] src/gnu/usr.bin/cpio Makefile

[Tim Kientzle]

This case is a little unusual: by default, I want to
install both 'cpio' programs and symlink the common name
to one of them.

How about this:
    WITH_GCPIO (default) - installs gcpio, symlinks 'cpio' unless 
WITH_BSDCPIO defined
    WITHOUT_GCPIO - does not install gcpio at all
    WITH_BSDCPIO (default) - installs bsdcpio, symlinks 'cpio'
    WITHOUT_BSDCPIO - does not install bsdcpio at all

This way, WITHOUT_BSDCPIO gives you the old behavior,
WITHOUT_GCPIO gives you the proposed new behavior;
the default gives you the transitional behavior.
