'install' and package management

What's the purpose of that install utility anyhow? Having a look at the man page makes it look like just a more fancy 'cp' variant (even if it has in fact less options and features). Since it is nowadays mainly used from within those ugly autoconf- generated Makefiles (make install) - wouldn't it
