Installing in FHS locations

It appears to me that the current coreutils 
drop, 4.5.4 - the first I've looked at -
does not have a way to install per FHS
guidelines for locations of binaries.  It
appears there's only the ability to install
into a single binary directory.   This is
fine if coreutils is perceived as an add-on,
but it's a bit of a pain when actually building
a distribution directly from tarballs, as
rules would have to be written to, say,
install in {SOME-TARGET}/usr/bin and then
move various programs to bin and sbin.

In the fileutils-shutils-textutils setup,
I ended up only having to move 'cat' to
comply with the FHS.
