The install system

The ASTERIX development system runs in the built state, but for external consumption Starlink insist we distribute our files into the Starlink directory structure. This is done by moving the built files from the build system directory xxx to /star/xxx/asterix. Most files can simply be copied, but some scripts have to be edited. When the install target moves the files is replaces the copies in the build directories with soft links to the installed files. The deinstall target destroys these links and moves the files back to the build directories.
