/** \defgroup instlib instlib: Installation program generation

The installer libraries provide for building a program to install files,
to verify (check) an installation, and to show what would be installed,
from a single source.  This single source is typically called \c
insthier.c and contains a single routine also named \c insthier
(so-named as it provides the installation hierarchy).  The libraries
provide the \c main function that calls \c insthier as well as all the
necessary support functions.

Where given, \c uid and \c gid may be set to \c -1 if there is no need
to force the installed UID and GID to a particular value.  The \c dir
argument is a directory number previously opened by \c opendir.
