How do you install an sh program?

[Benjamin Sher <delphi123 zebra net>]

Dear friends:

This is an image manipulation program called XNView. I just downloaded 
the source tarball. But I can't figure out how to install this program. 
It must be simple. And I have installed sh programs before but there is 
usually an install.sh file. Not here. So, how do I install it, please? I 
wrote to the author but just got a reply that he is on vacation.
