lynx-dev lynx 2.8.2 dev12 and missing program

[Larry W. Virden]

I'm back from holiday and trying to catch up.  I am building a fresh
lynx (../lynx2.8.2dev.12.tar.gz).  Here's the error I am getting when I
do the make install.  First problem - the test for mkdirs.sh is using the
wrong pathname.  config.status has MKINSTALLDIRS set to the full pathname for
mkdirs.sh.  But the po/makefile.in has a $(topdir)/ prepended to the variable.

The second problem - if the makefile cannot find the mkdirs.sh, it
attempts to use the mkinstalldirs program in the source directory - but one
isn't distributed with lynx ...
