baseinstalldir serves to specify extra subdirectories, so that if your
package only installs into Extra/Long/Path, you can tell the installer
that files in directory "Here" should go into Extra/Long/Path/Here.

install as is designed to short-circuit long paths.

Pyrus, on the other hand, does some clever manipulation to allow what
you are trying to do, so PEAR2 will be much easier to work with.
