Global install and local install do completely different things
Right now global install doesn't seem to do any of the same steps as a local install.
Local install copies specified files into a deps folder and links the ones you specify into a bin folder.
Global install just clones the repo and runs make install
(or a different command if you specify one).
If, as a developer, I want to support both I have to either write a standard make install
task and have my code be able to handle being laid out two different ways, or I have to write build
code that replicates the local install functionality of bpkg but as root in an appropriate global folder.
@BenoitHiller GH-94 the break mode
will take the same steps for both global install and local install
