The other method would be adding some stripped down version of GNU automake's install-sh, then we use say install-sh -d without caring about what switches 'install' has on the given platform. At least that's how HP builds their binary git package: http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/cgi-bin/wwwtar?/hpux/Development/Tools/git-1.5.6.3/git-1.5.6.3-src-11.11.tar.gz+git-1.5.6.3/HPUX.Install+text I think the mkdir one would be much simpler.
