I do not see absolutely any reason to use install there.

I have to wonder why 9907721 (templates/Makefile: don't depend on local
umask setting, 2008-02-28) did not do this instead:

	$(QUIET)umask 022 && ls *--* 2>/dev/null | \
	while read boilerplate; \
	do \
		case "$$boilerplate" in *~) continue ;; esac && \
		dst=`echo "$$boilerplate" | sed -e 's|^this|.|;s|--|/|g'` && \
		dir=`expr "$$dst" : '\(.*\)/'` && \
		mkdir -p blt/$$dir && \
		case "$$boilerplate" in \
		*--) ;; \
		*) cp $$boilerplate blt/$$dst ;; \
		esac || exit; \
	done && \
	date >$@
That works just fine for me.
