  Changes between 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 (12-Jul-2002 to xx-Oct-2002):
 
+   *) Map "shtool install -d <dir> [...]" internally to "shtool mkdir
+      -f -p -m 755 <dir> [...]" in order to support the BSD-style
+      "install -d" variant.
+      [Ralf S. Engelschall, Alan Eldridge <alane@geeksrus.net>]
+
    *) Add -o|--owner and -g|--group options to "shtool mkdir".
       [Ralf S. Engelschall]
