>Description:
Install fails because one of the author's Makefiles uses "cp -d",
a switch which is only available with the Gnu version of cp.
FreeBSD's cp reports this as an illegal option and the make terminates
with a fatal error.

The line in question can be found at work/libcoyotl-3.1.0/docs/Makefile.in, line 355:

	cp -dR html/* $(DESTDIR)$(htmldir)

The same line appears unchanged in the resulting Makefile after Makefile.in is processed.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:

Patch this line to use appropriate switches for FreeBSD cp.
