Hello,
The mkinstalldirs script which ships with Autoconf and Automake leaves bogus
directories named "-p" and "--" in its wake on platforms (such as NextStep
and OpenStep) for which the `mkdir' command does not recognize any options.
Here is a patch which fixes this bug. The patch is based upon the
mkinstalldirs script from the Autoconf CVS repository since it appears to be
more up-to-date than the one in the Automake CVS repository.
