Huh? gnulib-common.m4 is not supposed to pull in automake's mkdirp.m4
(because 'aclocal' follows only the executed branches of m4_ifdef, not
all branches, since automake-1.8 or so). But AM_INIT should pull in
automake's mkdirp.m4. No??
Well, it seems that the problem is that AC_PROG_MKDIR_P from Autoconf
2.61 doesn't substitute MKDIR_P. See my other email for a workaround
(I don't want to call it a fix since I'm not sure if it's the right
way to fix it).
