I agree.  Let's just do that.  It's much simpler.

That wording confused me.  I first thought you were talking about the
st_mtime value of the working directory.  It would be better to say
that MKDIR_P must be invoked from the directory that contains the
Makefile.

Also, if we document this constraint for MKDIR_P, shouldn't we also
document it for INSTALL, using similar wording?
