        Oh, I see that MinGW without MSYS is to be supported as well...

-       -test -d pcre || mkdir pcre
+       -$(MAKEDIR_COMMAND) $(MAKEDIR_COMMAND_OPTIONS) pcre

        Note that `-' isn't needed iff the W32 `mkdir' command doesn't
        return non-zero exit code when the directory already exists.
