The former was explicitly designed to execute additional code after the binary
has been installed. The latter can be executed in any order, hence it's
current dependency on install-binPROGRAMS as a workaround.
The CYGWIN libXorg.exe.a target is an installation target rather than
a post-installation one, so it should not be done as a hook. It does not depend
on the Xorg executable being installed.
Automake:
"These hooks are run after all other install rules of the appropriate type,
exec or data, have completed. So, for instance, it is possible to perform
post-installation modifications using an install hook".
"With the -local targets, there is no particular guarantee of execution order;
typically, they are run early, but with parallel make, there is no way
to be sure of that".
