The next Automake version (1.10) will make use of Autoconf-2.60's macro AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in the macro AM_PROG_MKDIR_P, thus `$(mkdir_p)' may be expressed in terms of `$(MKDIR_P)'. Since gettext's Makefile.in.in (and thus packages that use gettext) in general rely on the definition provided by AM_PROG_MKDIR_P, the patches below are necessary to keep things working properly.
Apologies for not having checked this earlier (before gettext-0.15); it is likely to generate a share of bug reports when Automake-1.10 is released before the next Gettext release. Another possibility would be to back out the relevant change of AM_PROG_MKDIR_P for Automake-1.10; what do you think?
