Weird. vcregress check works, install fails. Perhaps the directories are
precreated for check?
Anyway, I think Michael's fix is wrong. The bug is that the Win32
version of link() (at the bottom of zic.c) does not set errno if its
attempt to copy the file fails, so what dolink() puts into link_errno is
bogus.
The additional mkdirs() call just papers over the actual bug; the
existing one in line 802 will do nicely once it actually runs.
Patch attached.
