[gpm]install bug

Hello Mike!

mkinstalldirs is removed from make install in gpm-1.19.7.
I am currently trying as much as possible to release .7.

mkdir -p will do the job of mkinstalldirs. As gpm is
Linux specific, it does not need mkinstalldirs.

But in fact, thank you for the bug report.
If you find some more, please report.

Be prepared for a gpm-1.19.7-test release withing the next two
weeks.

Nico
