Thanks for the report - and it is good to hear that practically nobody
is using texhash anymore ;-)

That install.sh script is anyway borken, doesn't search correct
directories, installs into system directories, all no-no-go.

The correct way would be to install into TEXMFLOCAL by using
	kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL
and install there, if no target is given. Furthermore, it should call
mktexlsr instead of texhash ;-)

Anyway, the next upload will bring back texhash, committed to git.

Thanks for the report.
