I can't remember which, but one of the following programs is
responsible for putting mkinstalldirs and some other files in the
source directory:

aclocal
autoheader
automake
autoconf

You might want to try running those in order (shouldn't need any
arguments) and see if that installs them properly.  It might work and
it shouldn't do anything bad anyways (and if it does, just untar the
original source again).
