Summary: 'install -d' fails on BSDI systems.

Initial Comment:
Apparently the Makefile was changed to use 'install -d'
to create directories. This does not work on BSDI. It
seems to be an autoconf failure (since configure.in
just contains 'AC_PROG_INSTALL' but I haven't
experienced this before, with other software or with
Python.

Checked in with the -c fix.  Thanks for the testing Thomas.

Nope, doesn't work. In fact, it royally screws my
installation... However, if you change 'install-sh' to
'install-sh -c', it does work properly ;) Can we check in a
modified version before the final release ? That would be
nice!

Assigned to Andrew because he's been known to succeed when 
installing things <ahem>.
