Is nobase_include_HEADERS supposed to precreate directories?

[Jeremy C. Reed]

The Makefile.am I am looking at has:

nobase_include_HEADERS = histedit.h editline/readline.h

The Makefile.in (generated by automake 1.9.5) does:

nobase_include_HEADERS = histedit.h editline/readline.h
...
install-nobase_includeHEADERS: $(nobase_include_HEADERS)
        @$(NORMAL_INSTALL)
        test -z "$(includedir)" || $(mkdir_p) "$(DESTDIR)$(includedir)"
        @$(am__vpath_adj_setup) \
        list='$(nobase_include_HEADERS)'; for p in $$list; do \
          if test -f "$$p"; then d=; else d="$(srcdir)/"; fi; \
          $(am__vpath_adj) \
          echo " $(nobase_includeHEADERS_INSTALL) '$$d$$p' 
'$(DESTDIR)$(includedir)/$$f'"; \
          $(nobase_includeHEADERS_INSTALL) "$$d$$p" 
"$(DESTDIR)$(includedir)/$$f"; \
        done


Should it also precreate the "editline" subdirectory also?
