It should always be ok to do this, for as long as these scripts
maintain backward-compatibility, which they hopefully always will.
I've gone through the changes, especially to install-sh and
mkinstalldirs, and they are almost strictly portability and
correctness improvements. missing has gained new features, which is
to be expected over time, but they can't possibly hurt, except for:
