This is not correct; please investigate why ${INSTALL} -d didn't work.
 I agree that
using ${INSTALL} -d as I did is a big hack; I did it because it worked
for me and I
expected it could work in other cases.  As it doesn't always work (as
you've just
found), that hack must be removed and fixed in a correct way.  What
you have done
now is worse, and I doubt it even does the right thing...

The problem is that the package installs files as in:

install -d ... a/b/c /usr/somewhere/targetdir/

and expects install to create the a/b subdirectory inside targetdir
and then copy
the c file to it.  The correct fix is to change all makefiles to first
create the directory
and then copy the file... which is a PITA given the big amount of
files the package
has.  Simpler solutions are welcome...

Will take a look later; I now have to go to class.
