Why doesn't install.exe (from fileutils) have an option to create the destination 
directory if it does not exist if installing
more than 1 source file?  For example, I want to do something like this:
install *.pl /path/to/destination/perl/script/directory
> this complains that the directory does not exist
install -D *.pl /path/to/destination/perl/script/directory
> this only works with one source and dest file
install -d *.pl /path/to/destination/perl/script/directory
> this tries to create all directories mentioned in the command line

Most unixen have install -c (or -t) which creates the destination directory if it does 
not exist.  I notice install.exe accepts
and ignores -c?????
