Directories installed from within lib/ are installed using root's umask.
If you happen to be running a Mandrake distro with Paranoid security
settings (possibly also true for High) you'll end up with 700 instead of
755 permissions for the directories.
The net result being that when you start lyx you get a warning about not
being able to find textclasslist and then when you open a document you get
a segfault because there are no loaded textclasses.
We currently use config/mkinstalldirs for creating directories but this
doesn't allow us to set permissions on the directories created.
Can we use `install -d` instead of config/mkinstalldirs?
I haven't looked at configure to see how $mkinstalldirs is set or if it's
possible to do some other test to create a $INSTALL_DIRS based on similar
tests to $INSTALL_DATA etc.

P.S. I know a sysadmin should know what umask they use and that they
should check an installation after running `make install` however it would
be nice if we could set the appropriate permissions during the install. We
do for file permissions why not directories also?
