Yup. The newer version of fileutils found on my gentoo linux box has this lovely feature.
OSX does not. Create a g-util? or better yet...wait until pathspec? Ideas anyone?

Created attachment 66935 [details, diff]
patch for older install scripts (like on OSX)

or just patch the Makefile.

It only wants to install a perl file and the -D option is some sort of equal to
mkdir -p which IS available on OSX

Review requested

works in prefix, feels useless though.
