[LLVMdev] Install fails due to missing 'pax' tool

Hello,
I've just tries make && make install on a fresh CVS tree, and get:

   llvm[0]: Installing include files
   /bin/sh: line 1: pax: command not found

Two questions.

1. Why install process requires some nonstandard tool? Is it possible to get 
away without it.

2. autoconf/configure.ac has this:

   AC_PATH_PROG(PAX,  [pax],  [pax])

but Makefile.rules uses plain 'pax', not $(PAX). Why autoconf test is needed, 
then?
