not really a bug but a suggestion for improvement: the "install" utility
could use a parameter to indicate that the file to be installed should be
"moved" or deleted from its original location after being successfully
installed. this would allow one to do something like this (assuming the
parameter were --mv):
# install --mv usr/conf /etc/tst.conf
# install --mv usr/init /etc/rc.d/init.d/tst
# etc, etc.
and then I could do:
# install usr/* /usr/local/tst
which would in essence install all the *remaining* files. yes, I know that
I could manually remove the files but it would be nice if "install" could
just do it for me.
