Repeat after me kids: "I will not try to install files into a directory

when I'm not sure whether or not that directory exists."

Today I discovered that rebuilding /usr/include completely from scratch
doesn't work, because the libss Makefile tries to install headers into
/usr/include/ss, which 'make includes' does not create. The result is that
the libss Makefile plants the header files in /usr/include as individual
files called 'ss,' with the second one overwriting the first, and the
third one overwriting the second. So instead of a directory called
/usr/include/ss, you end up with just one file called /usr/include/ss with
only the last header file in it. Check out /usr/include/ss on freefall
and you'll see what I mean.

I've modified the beforeinstall target in the libss Makefile to check
for the presence of the ${DESTDIR}/usr/include/lbss directory and to
create it if it isn't already there. Hopefully I did it right.
