This -d flag for install seems to be causing a lot of grief.  A
number of ports that would otherwise be 100% functional on 2.1
fail to install because of this tiny little quirk.

If ports must, for some bizarre reason, use -d flag, maybe we
should supply an "install upgrade" package for 2.1.x users
containing a binary of install that support the -d option.
