I changed the 'cp -u ...' in your original patch to something that
uses 'cmp'.  See:

http://git.annexia.org/?p=hivex.git;a=commitdiff;h=b22f2651674b4628978bd5971984a01d68510c45#patch3

This was needed in order to make builds work where srcdir == builddir
(I tested both ways, but I too did not test 'make install').

I'll take a look at the patches tomorrow.

Thanks, Rich.
