Hi Arnaud - back on this bug from last April, I guess I just don't think
it's the job of mkinstalldirs to follow symlinks. It feels like too big
a change in behavior. I think the real bug here lies in whatever
created the broken symlink in the first place.

So I'm going to close this one. All the best,
Karl
