Hi!
"install --help" says, among other things:
-v, --verbose print the name of each directory as it is created
which left me with the impression that `-v' is not as helpful as I
would have liked. Only an experiment convinced me that `-v' does
exactly what I wanted, i.e. that "install -v" behaves like "mkdir -v"
for directories and like "cp -v" for other files.
This is not evident from src/install.c only; I had to look at
src/copy.c too.
Suggestion:

(Took the replacement from src/cp.c.)
Peace,
Toomas.
