[xmlsec] install-sh and multiple files

[Russell Beall]

Yes, it probably is just an old version of install-sh.

One thing I found which "solves" the problem is that I copied over the install-sh from libxml2-2.7.7.  Multi-file copies work properly with that edition and I was able to install 1.2.16 with that.
