It is creating the subdirs
$(INST_ARCHLIBDIR)/pTk
$(INST_ARCHLIBDIR)/pTk/compat
and some others on weird (e.g. Win32) platforms to put the .h files in.
As the Makefile.PL also then goes on to create dependancy of 'config ::'
on the .exists files it is doomed to need patching :-(
What is the approved way of saying "create this directory before running
this rule?" these days? Or does pm_to_blib auto-create destination directory?
