I might use CVS as my installer, as it works well enough, but I'd probably use
'cvs export' to do it. Of course if I was doing anything remotely complex, even
chmods, I'd probably do as Noel says and wrap the install in a script or
makefile.

OPHELIA Could beauty, my lord, have better commerce
than with honesty?
HAMLET Ay, truly. For the power of beauty will sooner
transform honesty from what it is to a bawd than the
force of honesty can translate beauty into his likeness.
This was sometime a paradox, but now the time gives it
proof. I did love you once.
OPHELIA Indeed, my lord, you made me believe so.
- Hamlet, Act III, Scene 1, Lines 109-116
