Copying custom folder from install package

Question

I created a component for joomla 3.2. It has a folder with framework files (folder name is forms). How can I transfer this folder to joomlaroot/libraries/ folder ?

Can this be done only using manifest file, or I need to use install.component.php file ? If yes, how can I specify path of 'forms' folder?

I guess I should use something like:

class com_ComponentInstallerScript
{
function install( $parent ) 
{
jimport('joomla.filesystem.folder');
jimport('joomla.filesystem.file');
$target= 'forms';
$destination = JPATH_ROOT.'/libraries/';

JFolder::copy($target, $destination);
}
}

Here are the steps:

• create a package which will contain the component that you already have

• the library that you need to create. Read the article How To Package Joomla Libraries. Also here is a live example with the PHPExcel library for Joomla.
