[bug-gnulib] AM_MKINSTALLDIRS obsolete?

Hey all,

Is the AM_MKINSTALLDIRS macro defined by m4/nls.m4 obsolete now that
Automake 1.9.5 defines

~    mkinstalldirs=$(ac_aux_dir)/install-sh -d

?  It seems to me that hardcoding it to define MKINSTALLDIRS to the
mkinstalldirs script is certainly out of date.

Not sure why the nls.m4 version would have been doing something
diffrerent anyhow.  I think $(mkinstalldirs) has been the var defined
by Automake for awhile and I think it is usually included for the
`make install' target, which should be just about always.

Also, as near as I can tell, despite causing $(MKINSTALLDIRS) to be
defined in my Makefiles, $(MKINSTALLDIRS) is never referenced in any
targets.

Regards,

Derek
