 Requiered directories are created if either INSTALLATION_DIRS
 is set properly or AUTO_MKDIRS is set to yes.
 
 Some packages set neither of them. In this case package building may
 fail.
 
 It whould be nice if pkglint will show warning if neither
 INSTALLATION_DIRS nor AUTO_MKDIRS is set or if INSTALLATION_DIRS
 is set but not all dirs found in PLIST iare present.
