[Planner Dev] Install Quirk



I noticed a quirk in the build process a little while back, and finally
figured out a workaround, but I thought I'd bring it up...

I did a clean pull of Planner from CVS and rebuilt the application.  I'm
working on an install of FC2, so I have to fudge the autogen.sh file to
check for version 1.8 of automake, but once this is done, every thing
*appears* to build correctly.  (I remember a long discussion on the 1.7
requirement, but I don't remember the conclusion.)

The trick is when I try to run "make install", I get an error looking
for the script "mkinstalldirs".  If I create an empty, executable file,
it actually tries to run it, and then installs normally.

I haven't had a chance to dig into the scripts yet, but I *suspect* is
either, since I've already installed once before, no new directories
need to be created and the mkinstalldirs command isn't built, or it
might be the fault of the 1.7/1.8 version difference in the automake
program. :-/
