I meant it to only change ownership of directories it created, i fixed
it to do that in cvs with only a minor change.

However it doesnt always change owndership of the last path component if
it already exists, im not convinced it should, i dont see that behaviour
with GNU install.

I havent tried the install.sh script that autoconf uses if it doesnt
find bin/install... i will have a bit more of a look.

Also, im keen to fix bugs or add features that are needed when busybox
is used in a build environment, so dont hold back if you have any more
issues.



Thanks
