        There are edge cases I’ve had to work around in the build system in the 
past, where using $INSTALL would not work here, e.g., use “INSTALL=true”. This 
would break that use.
        There’s also absolutely no guarantee that “$INSTALL” knows how to 
interpret "$INSTALLFLAGS”; FreeBSD’s install(1) however, used during make 
distribution, installworld, installkernel, etc, does support these flags.
        The same goes for mtree as well; nmtree isn’t the same as the older 
version of mtree that’s on older (pre-9.x) systems (IIRC). It’s better to use 
known build/install tools to avoid maintenance/debugging burden.
Thanks,
