 *   Repeat after me kids: "I will not try to install files into a directory
 *   when I'm not sure whether or not that directory exists."

I've been bitten by this several times.  Maybe we can make a new flag
to cp/install that says "the destination should be a directory...if
not, report an error".

Then we can put this flag to the master Makefile or /etc/make.conf and
be all happy (or at least know it as soon as it fails).

Satoshi (just throwing some ideas around)
