Use the opportunity of the 2.0 release to remove a backward compatibility thunk, the install script, in favor of directly calling instpackage and instcheck, as our packaging tools already do.

If the install script is gone, an install makefile target could see the day? #9

./compile hostname.c

install:
echo './instpackage && ./instchown' > install

What about keeping:

install:
	./instpackage

I do not think that anyone who discovered qmail got used to run make install for regenerate this simple shell script, and rather have the install target called as a dependency of make it.

So we might not break any expectation through your deletion. Do I open a separate branch for this?
