 Daniel> install -o 1000 -g 1000 -m 755 mybinary /usr/bin/mybinary

Something like that, except it should only do so when called with a
destination directory under $(TARGET_DIR) and only if called with -o or
-g to set owner/group differently than root/root. As a further
complication owner/group can be numeric or names, and names have to get
resolved to the IDs we have in $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/{passwd,group}.

Finally the -o / -g options should get stripped and the request
forwarded to the real install program.
