In our wwwdocs repository and on the web the directory is called
"install", while when shipped with releases we call it "INSTALL".

URLs are case-sensitive. Thus those links in faq.html (shipped as part
of a release) that point into the "install" directory are broken in the
release due to this renaming.

My suggested fix is to s#install/#INSTALL/#g on faq.html as shipped with
releases to account for the "install" to "INSTALL" renaming.

Sorry for not being clear enough in my first report; I hope this time I
did a better job outlining this issue...

If you make the release script CVS controlled, I will try to give this a
stab.
