Summary: prefix directory (PR#293)

Details: Jitterbug-Id: 293

(Repost: excuse me for annoyance)

The installation procedure ("make install") fails if the prefix directory
specified with configure's --prefix option does not exist.  Manually
making the prefix directory is sufficient, but automatic creation may be
more preferable.

Comment:
Yup, this is a problem. This could be fixed by using mkdir's '-p' flag, in the Makefile. However, I'm not entirely sure how portable the -p flag is. The other solution, manually checking each parent directory and creating them when necessary, is a lot more work.
