Comment (by raimue@…):

 xinstall is meant to be a builtin implementation of install(1), which also
 cannot operate in a recursive mode.

 How would the modes be applied in recursive mode? Directories need +x,
 while it should not be set on non-executable files. Would we have to two
 separate mode arguments; one for files, one for directories?
