bugfix: checkinstall fails & dwm-msg not removed on uninstall

[Person1873]

this patch modifies the makefile to use the "install" command which behaves like cp,chmod,chown,mkdir all rolled into one. this simplifies the makefile & also makes it compatible with "checkinstall" on debian systems.

[Person1873]

The reason for doing this, is so that my system has nothing installed outside the package manager, figured this may be useful for others that are also thus inclined

I think that these kind of changes would be more something that one would try to get merged upstream (in the main dwm project) and this project would pick up the changes if they end up getting merged.

install is part of the GNU coreutils so it should in theory be available on most systems. On BSD it looks like xinstall is the equivalent.

Interestingly they have an xinstall in the suckless sbase although it does not have all the command line arguments.

I doubt it would be merged upstream because suckless hates GNU features, and I'd imagine they believe cp sucks less or whatever despite it being an improvement in my opinion.

not to be contrary, but the upstream makefile doesn't include dwm-msg at all, and it only forms part of the IPC patch.
it would make sense to push that particular part of it to the IPC patch however.
this seems like the most logical place to submit to as it seem intended to simplify install of DWM (including uninstalling?)
