I'm not sure this is correct, as there is only one man page for the
groups program. Why should its man page be referenced as plural?
There are multiple man pages, for different languages.
-install -dv -m 1777 /tmp /var/tmp
+install -dv -m 1777 {/var,}/tmp
This syntax looks wrong to me. Seems it would create a /var/tmp
dir but not /tmp.
It does work and it creates both /tmp and /var/tmp.
-for dir in /usr /usr/local; do
+for dir in /usr{,/local}; do
What is gained here other than two keystrokes less at the expense
of a much more complex syntax? Is it worth it?
Fair enough. Personal preference I suppose.
Ditto earlier.

I simply copied the same changes to trunk and the 6.2 branch. :)
