  | I wonder if all platforms we care about support -exec ... +

Doesn't really matter - to use it would mean modifying install to
give it an option to specify the destination, rather than it simply
being the final path name (and both -d and -D are already taken),
and that would then not be portable at all, or writing a wrapper script
to reorder the args - which would lose most of whatever gain there
otherwise would be in invoking install less times ... I suspect that
for this usage it is rare for there to be more than a handful of files
which, if not the case, might make it more useful to go that way.
