MKINSTALLDIRS is defined in aclocal.m4, so we're good. This patch
isn't necessary, as far as I can tell. Have you actually shown that
with some newer version of autoconf, it produces a configure script
which doesn't define MKINSTALLDIRS? As far as I know e2fsprogs builds
Just Fine, and using autoconf 2.61 isn't a problem.
What version of autoconf are you using that triggers this problem?
(Note that e2fsprogs does not use automake, since automake is a
horrible kludge of backwards non-compatibility and ugliness....)
At some point when we go to a newer version of gettext we may need to
update things, but I'd much rather save that for when we really uplift
gettext and aclocal.m4 all in one go.
For now, I suspect you could drop this patch without any problems,
since we don't use automake, and aclocal.m4 has a version of
AM_MKINSTALLDIRS that will do the right thing.
