If you can call this rationale... It was the easiest way to get it
working at the time :-)

But there is one drawback to doing a single recursive copy: It will copy
all files in the tree, not just headers. So CVS dirs and other
non-header files (at the time there where some in there) will dirty up
the installation location.
