[Nix-dev] What kind of "install" do we have in freebsd stdenv?

thank you for the explanation. I guess, what I wonder is: should the feature
set of the tools available in *stdenv* vary from one platform to the other?
Wouldn't it be easier to write robust build scripts if 'install' would
always understand -D? In other words, shouldn't coreutils be part of stdenv
on FreeBSD?

Take care,
Peter
