The attached patch implements this.

BTW: the Texinfo manual was falsely stating that [g]install
would ignore the -D option when -t was given (instead, it
complained with ENOENT for the target_directory):

  `-D'
     Create any missing parent directories of DEST, then copy SOURCE to
     DEST.  This option is ignored if a destination directory is
     specified via `--target-directory=DIR'.

Have a nice day,
