Well, this part of the commit message is no longer valid, so I tweaked
it a bit...

At any rate, thanks for the review, and I've now pushed the rest of the
cleanups.

    build: follow directory install conventions

    Commit 4d9e51f6 fixed a 'make uninstall' failure, but failed
    to follow other conventions already present in src/Makefile.am.
    In particular, we prefer MKDIR_P over mkdir -p, and should
    have a matching rmdir during uninstall for every directory
    created during install (the idea being that uninstall in a
    DESTDIR should be clean, while installation in the final
    system should not fail with non-empty directories left behind).
