When compiling some stuff from the net which uses /etc/install, install
fails with some odd errors:

1.  /etc/install -c -m 0664 libmine.a /usr/lib
    install: The -c, -f, -n options each require a directory following!

And so there is! Well?


2.  /etc/install -c  myprog /usr/local/bin
    cp: /usr/local/bin: Is a directory

Of course /usr/local/bin is a directory -- the man pages say it will copy
the file to it. But, NOoooo!

What's the deal?
