We have dropped support for 'make install' in 1.5 (see the CHANGES file, and
the FAQ in the wiki for explanations).
We will accept a patch for this, though. If you decide to submit one, see
http://code.google.com/p/googletest/wiki/DevGuide#Contributing_Code for how to
contribute a patch. And it will still be up to the community to support this
functionality.

Actually, we plan to remove the 'install' make target entirely. Therefore a
patch wouldn't make much sense as it will be undone anyway.
See
http://code.google.com/p/googletest/wiki/FAQ#Why_is_it_not_recommended_to_instal
l_a_pre-compiled_copy_of_Goog for why we decided to do that.

Given continued demand for this feature, I think we should not delete it. We
can leave it in unsupported.

demand != what we should do

To elaborate, there will *always* be demand on deprecated features. That
doesn't mean we should support them indefinitely.
