This doesn't seem like a particularly good idea ... what's it going to
buy you except another way to shoot yourself in the foot?
What I'd rather see is some effort spent on speeding up our "install"
script, maybe by allowing it to install multiple files per invocation.
The recent changes to force install-all-headers have caused a
serious degradation of "make install" performance, and I think that's
where the issue really needs to be solved.
