[mesa-users] [patch] Make sure data directory exists

[Rob.Farmer]

Hi Bill
After poking around i found the issue (entirely my own making). I'm using git rather than svn as a SCM, (git has the useful ability to "pretend" to be svn/cvs clients so i can be lazy and learn only 1 set of commands).
Unfortunately, it turns out that it doesn't track empty directories, which is why they where missing from the checkout. Other than these missing directories everything else installed fine
Patch should still be useful to stop this happening to anyone else regardless of their tools.

Rob

Hi Rob,

If your checkout and installation of MESA happens properly, there is no need to patch things.
So I'm wondering if something went wrong in your install.  You might do a fresh checkout to see.
I'm concerned that if the necessary data directories were missing from your checkout,
then there are probably other things screwed up too.
