installing empty directories

[Brook Milligan <brook%nmsu.edu@localhost>]

I have a package that needs to install a directory that is initially
empty but may later be filled.  Just adding it to INSTALLATION_DIRS does
not get it installed. I'm guessing there is some logic for ignoring
empty directories.

Is there a sanctioned method for getting such a directory installed?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Brook
