Re: [Dbmail-dev] mkinstalldirs potential problem?

mkinstalldirs will create the necessary directories for the package. It checks to see if they already exist. mkinstalldirs does a fine job.

Maybe we should consider using 'mkdir -p /path/'
as this will make all missing parent directories
as well. It will not touch existing ones.

Not reporting this to bugtracker yet since I do
not quite follow the code, and can not test now.

I think this is a standard autotools script. Isn't it? Dan, you probably know this..?
