Makefile bug.

[Gaute B Strokkenes <gs234@cam.ac.uk>]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to report this, but when I did
a make install with CVS gnus as of a few minutes ago, make tried to
create a directory called /emacs and died.  If my analysis is correct
this is due to a missing datadir = @datadir@ in gnus/etc/Makefile.in


Additionally, the install target could not deal with a gnus configured
like this:

  $ ./configure --prefix=~/elisp/gnus

It worked when I changed it to

  $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/elisp/gnus

I'm not certain if this is supposed to work or not, but I don't see
why it shouldn't.  The failure symptoms are mkinstalldirs silently
failing to create the necessary directories.

I'm having a MID-WEEK CRISIS!
