| I tried install -d first, and got problems which suggested that I was
| misunderstanding its use.  Here's the rule I had:
| 
| .for lang in ${INTER}
| 	${INSTALL} -d -c -o ${BINOWN} -g ${BINGRP} -m ${TEXTMODE} \
| 		${.CURDIR}/calendars/${lang}/calendar.* \
| 		${DESTDIR}${SHAREDIR}/calendar/${lang} 
| .endfor

install -d just creates the directory, it doesn't put files there too.
