[xml] shouldn't a make install use mkdir -p?

[Rick Jones <rick_jones2 hp com>]

It would seem that a make install presumes that the prefixes already
exist. Is that really the "right" thing, or should it instead be using
mkdir -p? (2.4.32 on HP-UX 11.11) configure executed with --with-threads
--prefix=/opt/libxml2 --exec-prefix=/opt/libxml2
