Note that the install man page seems to imply that install can be used with a
target directory only if there is multiple input files:
NAME
       ginstall - copy files and set attributes

SYNOPSIS
       install [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST           (1st format)
       install [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY   (2nd format)
       install -d [OPTION]... DIRECTORY...       (3rd format)

DESCRIPTION
       In the first two formats, copy SOURCE to DEST or multiple SOURCE(s) to
       the  existing  DIRECTORY,   while   setting   permission   modes   and
       owner/group.   In the third format, create all components of the given
       DIRECTORY(ies).
